How much support has NLM been committed to K99 awards?

We don't have a set commitment for each of our grant programs. See NLM's FY Funding Plan here.

"NLM supports as many meritorious competing grant applications as possible, across the array of grant programs it offers. General funding guidelines are established each year based on appropriated funds available. Final award decisions reflect considerations of program relevance, portfolio balance, recommendations of the NLM Board of Regents, and availability of funds."

On average, NLM has funded about 3 new K99/R00 awards per year over the last few years.
