Things would become even tougher for scientists who have been highly productive with Rodgers’ proposal to limit researchers to holding no more than three NIH active grants and awards at a time. Ummm, things don’t work too well when you effectively tell successful people, “Yeah, we don’t want you to become too successful.” If you want to provide more support to newer scientists, you can’t just slice up the same pie in a different way.
