Scenarios:1. No increase in applicants and
only a higher application rate (from 0.54 to 0.62 applications/investigator/year) – RPG applications would have grown 16% from 148,878 applications to ~170,000.
2. Increase in applicants only – RPG applications would have grown about 50%, from 148,878 to almost 225,000.
Observed increase: 148,878 to 258,802
