Some great discussion in the comments for this one on Nature site. But will any of the excellent points raised actually be addressed by NIH? How likely they will be able to limit institutional overhead or number of grants per PI. - Jason Stajich
Including "test" - Roland Krause
I agree it is an imperfect system but reform in the NIH is a huge elephant in the room. The salary cap idea is a good one and so are grant caps. But what reform would get a new investigator the same attention and access to a funded grant as an established investigator? That specific concern needs to be addressed constructively in order to build more parity into the system and translate novel ideas into everyday science. - Aarthy
