no wonder so many faculty and phd voted for OBAMA, the tax increased is only enough for 8-9 days of government spending. Without serious spending cut, the whole country is going down. Who cares about NIH if that really happens.

If you actually believe that we have a debt problem, it is going to be a long discussion. Republican cannot even pass their own plan B bill. Also, the other bill passed Congress only cut around 250 billion without a single cent from defense. The senate bill which already passed (yes passed by the senate already) is far more balanced. Republican seems to ignore the fact that there is a complete budget bill PASSED by the senate. I will let you guys know if the NIH is not funding my RO1 due to budget that is way below payline.

If you do NOT believe that we have a debt problem, I am speechless. Debt problem does not mean that USA will bankrupt. Instead, it only means that government have taken more money from people than it deserved. People have to pay either directly by taxation, or indirectly by inflation. Just talking about R01, which has been devalued by the debt problem. The size of R01 has been stabilized for two decades. Then, one R01 provided sufficient fund for a mid-sized lab ;now, two R01s are minimal to maintain a lab running in a medical-school setting.

Do you have a economic or MBA degree? Did you sold all your stock and short the market in 2008? Did you brought gold at 300/oz and told people not to chase at 1700/oz?

I did not have much money to worry about, then. If I had concerns of money, I probably would not choose biology from the beginning. BTW, don't worry too much about your R01 application. NIH will cut 10% of all funded projects to make the space for the new ones.

Basic science is what a government should invest on, because it would not generate foreseeable profit. For the rest of what NIH is spending on, private section would have done much better for the same amount of money. Unfortunately, pure basic science only accounts for about 20% of research budget from public funding, and it is the least concern of politicians.

Asking for profitable research is bizarre in Science. Doing basic research is a welfare for a civilized society, just like humanity. It is a long-term investment with return in decades, or even in generations. It also has been kept as minimum as <1% of government spending and <0.2% of US GDP. In contrast, NIH's "Translational research" will be a big waste of money. If the healthcare industry see the profit coming, it will jump on the real Translational research, even without the money from NIH.

I know the "death valley" between B2B. However, forcing basic researchers into translational research may not be the right strategy.

NIGMS new grant are facing a >20% cut. If you use modular budget, you will be lucky to get 200k direct (the PI I know only got 190k). Assuming you put yourself at 50% if you are in a medical school. That's 50k-60k out of the door. A post-doc is around another 55k including all the benefit that you have to pay (H1b prevailing wage for a fresh Ph.D. is 41,900 in my field). A graduate student is another 28-30k. If you want to hire a tech, you will have no money left. Do you consider a post-doc and an graduate student a small lab or even functional lab?
