Ever wondered who the real rockstars of R01s from the past 5 years?

We ranked the most funded PIs in cancer R01s from 2020–2024.

Anyone with persistent effort can (maybe) win one R01. Winning 38–48 of them over 5 years is something else entirely.

R01s flow towards people whose ideas repeatedly translate into durable programs.

Durability means:
• hypotheses that age well
• biology that generalizes
• institutions that trust you with long arcs
• and ideas NIH is willing to underwrite repeatedly

========

Meet the rockstars, their institutions, and an examplary funded research:

Not a shock to anyone that being a conformist is the easiest way to succeed in science. And it will always be true for as long as our primary measure of success is accumulation of citations - and not actual scientific progress.
