The average age at which American medical researchers receive their
first major grant from the National Institutes of Health is
frustratingly, persistently high. So three leading philanthropic groups
are attempting to step in and support young medical researchers early in
their careers.
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Simons Foundation announced on Monday
a $150-million grant program designed to counter tight NIH budgets. The
new grant, to be known as the Faculty Scholars competition, will
provide five-year nonrenewable awards ranging from $100,000 to $400,000
per year. (Institutions would receive an additional 20 percent for
administrative costs.)
