GRFP Funding (in millions)
-------------------------------
FY09: $115.06 (Regular) + $45.56 (Stimulus) = $160.62
FY08: $96.02
This means, in total, there is a %67 increase in GRFP funding from 2008 to 2009. So far, the increase in awardees is 4% (950 versus 913). If these numbers are right and all kinds of assumptions are made, this would mean we could possibly expect ~575 more awards to be given out.
