Grant Success Rate Rechner — Formel
## How to Calculate Grant Success Rate
Grant success rate is the proportion of submitted proposals that receive funding.
### Formula
**Success Rate = Grants Funded / Grants Submitted**
**Expected Future Funding = Planned Submissions x Success Rate x Average Amount**
### Benchmarks
- Federal grants (NIH, NSF): 15-25% success rate
- Private foundations: 10-30%
- Internal university grants: 30-50%
Improving proposal quality and targeting the right funder can significantly increase your rate.

Lösungsbeispiel
A researcher submitted 12 grants, won 3, averaging $50,000 each, and plans 5 more submissions.
- Success rate: 3 / 12 = 0.25 = 25.0%
- Total funded: 3 x $50,000 = $150,000
- Expected future wins: 5 x 0.25 = 1.3
- Expected future funding: 1.3 x $50,000 = $62,500
