Here is NIGMS.
This reflects Jon Lorsch's push away from R01s and toward MIRA awards (R35s). While there are some advantages to the R35 mechanism, there are downsides to "putting all of your eggs in one basket" as some discovered this year.

Key numbers in cell biology
Having a sense of scale helps to think more rigorously and realistically about biological systems.
