[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funding for research grants from most of the NIH institutes is down to 5-10% of grants submitted.  Many highly talented researchers with the potential to contribute major advances to science are already closing their research labs and finding new careers.  Others who have been able to hold on are spending an inordinate amount of time perfecting their already outstanding grant applications to get into the funding range.  This results in significant slowing down of their research programs.

Science and technical advancement in the US will soon be eclipsed by research in other countries (e.g. China) where funding is more generous.  The US is loosing the competitive edge and any further reduction in the NIH budget will make this happen even faster.  [/quote]

+1 Yes this is so true, on both counts.[/quote]

Yup.  One reason the economy was gamgbusters during the Clinton years is that lots of money was going into scientific research.  Trump truly has no understanding of what makes our economy great.[/quote]
