http://www.hhmi.org/bulletin/nov2007/perspectives/trends.html The percentage of grants going to investigators under age 40 has dropped from 27 percent in 1995 to 17 percent in 2005. This bleak funding outlook has a devastating effect on a young person's morale, confidence, and productivity. Looked at another way, the average age for a scientist with a Ph.D. to get a first research project grant from the National Institutes of Health (the RO1 grant) is 42.
