The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism, numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. In 2011, the R33 funded 126 awards totaling over $49.07 million. Source: AAAS R&D Budget and Policy Program: R&D in the FY 2012 Budget. http://www.aaas.org/spp/rd/fy2012/
