Not too long ago at a reception, one of my faculty colleagues at Johns Hopkins expressed concern about her academic future. The spend line for National Institutes of Well being (NIH) grants in her field was 7 % that means that she has to commit two or three weeks writing a proposal that has only a 7 % possibility of receiving funded. Assuming she need to create 14 proposals to get a single funded (a 7 % price), then she will be spending her whole year writing proposals and not in fact undertaking the operate. Due to the fact of this low acceptance rate, she is evaluating her choices about remaining a researcher right after getting gotten a lot of NIH grants and getting written over 60 peer reviewed articles in major journals.
