[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Eliminate ethical oversight boards, are you nuts, PP?  We need MORE oversight, not less.  That doesn't have to mean expensive contractors, but there's no way in hell high-risk research needs less oversight.

The issue of indirects is a complicated one, and I agree needs reform.  Universities absolutely profit off the backs of their researchers, and it's crummy.  I know plenty of places in which the institution is glad to take the indirects, but won't contribute a penny towards the researcher's salary, and the lights go out if there's any lapse in funding.

There are plenty of American postdocs who would gladly take a position at the NIH--they pay better than academia and the benefits are great.  The system is very broken.

But really, this budget is about posturing.  It's about Trump wanting to make the poor, sick, and ignorant poorer, sicker, and more ignorant.  It's about him wanting to appear strong while in reality being the weakest person ever to sit in the Oval Office.[/quote]

nope. these days you need to wait 3 months for IRB approval for a questionnaire. sorry but that doesn't make any sense. any random can deliver that questionnaire on the street - and even record to make fun of people - but a researcher can't do it.[/quote]
