Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD(@NIHDirector_Jay):📣NIH wants to hear from you! A big part of advancing scientific discovery involves maximizing opportunities for all scientists—regardless of lab, study discipline, or affiliation—to share their ideas. With that in mind, NIH is seeking public input on a proposed policy that would cap the number of Research Project Grants an individual can lead at once as Principal Investigator or Multi-Principal Investigator. While we believe this is one possible approach to advance stewardship, workforce sustainability and the goals of the NIH Unified Funding Strategy, no final decisions will be made without careful consideration of feedback from the research community.
