Scientific World's Low Tolerance For Controversy May Be What's Excluding Young Investigators
The Scientist, Vol:8, #24, p.13, December 12, 1994. "Of all the information recently brought out on sponsored research, one fact is truly alarming. This is the decrease in the number of young scientists who apply for grants. According to a new report by the National Research Council (NRC), applications for National Institutes of Health funding from researchers under 36 years of age declined about 55 percent between 1985 and 1993.... If this trend continues, it will lead to the decline, if not the extinction, of academic research in the United States."
