e "next generation of science" is at risk unless major changes are made to increase opportunities for young researchers, Johns Hopkins University President Ronald Daniels wrote in a scientific journal article published Tuesday.
Only 1 percent of National Institutes of Health grants went to researchers under the age of 36 in 2012, less than one-fourth of the share three decades earlier, Daniels wrote in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. And researchers who see such statistics — and limited opportunities for tenured faculty positions — are increasingly discouraged, he warned.
