Currently, NIH's Center for Scientific Review reviews 66,000 grant applications a year, with panels run by NIH’s separate institutes reviewing the rest.
Under a new plan, the institute-run panels will be eliminated, and many of the scientists overseeing them will be laid off. scim.ag/3QP0FUG

‘Dark proteins’ hiding in our cells could hold clues to cancer and other diseases
The human genome encodes potentially thousands of tiny proteins that were previously overlooked. The search is on to find out what they do.

The idea that we can presuppose where science is going to lead is right out of business.
The NIH, XEROX PARC and Bell Labs succeed(ed) because they did not presuppose the “products” or outcomes of the investments in them.
They hired the right people and enabled them to be curious and to explore.

New Zealand now going the way of many other countries. The idea that “we must endeavour to invest our money in areas that we believe have the best chance of showing a return on investment” is so small minded and foolish.

Funding research for economic return sounds good – but that’s not how science really works
The Marsden Fund was set up to support pure research. Diverting half of it to fund applied research undermines New Zealand’s potential to generate ideas that underpin commercial success.
