About this book

This book brings to light trends in the support of life scientists beginning their professional careers. In 1985, 3, 040 scientists under the age of 36 applied for individual investigator (R01) grants from the National Institutes of Health, and 1, 002 received awards, for a "e;success rate"e; of 33%. In 1993, 1, 389 scientists under the age of 36 applied for R01 grants and 302 received awards, for a success rate of 21.7%. Even when R23/R29 grant awards (both intended for new investigators) are added to the R01 awards, the number of R01 plus R23 awards made in 1985 was 1, 308, and in 1993, the number of R01 plus R29 was 527. These recent trends in the funding of young biomedical research scientists, and the fact that young nonbiomedical scientists historically have had a smaller base of support to draw upon when beginning their careers, raises serious questions about the future of life science research. It is the purpose of this volume to present data about the trends and examine their implications.
