Here is a plot of 4-year multi-year funded new R01s for 2015-2025. NIH has made some 4-year R01s late in the fiscal year to invest the last of the appropriation, but what is happening this year is quite different.
I estimate that these new R01s are ~25% of the multi-year funding since July 1.

How to make teams care: Winner of the NBA Cup gets 5 extra points to use during the regular season. Runner-up gets 2.
Lost by 1? You use two of your points and now you win.
To use the points, the head coach blows into a ram's horn. The coach carries it with him at all times. This is a good idea.

This is not some small foundation -- HHMI has a $24 billion endowment. It is the world's 2nd richest biomedical research foundation.
If any funder can double down on their support for science right now, it's HHMI. But they are doing the opposite.
