Scientific Research Stymied

Scientific innovation is desperately needed to solve our most pressing problems but how scientists get money for their research stifles, rather than spurs, creativity.

“Academic science is in a crisis. At a time when scientific innovation is desperately needed to solve some of the world’s most pressing environmental, technological, and medical problems, how scientists get money for their research stifles, rather than spurs, creativity” “Many people are aware of the serious abuses of the grant process and the concomitant strains placed on the academic community. But young faculty members, who are perhaps most acutely affected, are afraid to speak up and rock the boat. No one knows what to do.”
