Science has a short-term memory problem

Summary

Nutrition label

89% Informative

Only about 20 percent of applications for research project grants at the National Institutes of Health are successful.

Principal investigators are responsible not only for running their own lab, but also for funding it.

This system leaves principal investigators scrambling to plug holes in their patchwork of funding.

The best science happens when experiments lead researchers in unexpected directions.

It takes an average of six years to earn a PhD , with only about three to five of those years devoted to research in a lab.

Science, especially groundbreaking science, rarely fits into a three- to five-year window.

Funding scientists themselves, rather than the experiments they say they’ll do, helps.

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute has a funding model worth replicating.
