  2. All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts,…”

  3. 100% Competing New Investigators 80% 60% Competing Experienced Investigators 40% Non-Competing 20% Awards 0% 1962 1970 1978 1986 1994 2002 The Stage: New investigators compete for ~ a 25% share of the NIH pie

  4. Younger investigators have higher T1 success rates than older investigators

  5. First major independent research support occurs at later age

  6. First faculty appointment occurs at a later age

  7. Activism: what have we done/are doing to make a difference? • Self designation of new investigator status • Special treatment at time of review • Special treatment at time of funding decisions • Programs targeting new investigators • [New Investigator Research Award (R23)] • [FIRST Award (R29)] • R03 • R21 • K Awards

  8. What effect have our interventions had?

  9. New investigators have increaseduse of R21s

  10. Prior support through career (K) awards, R03, R21 confers some advantage in future funding

  11. Number of new investigators entering and leaving the system - pretty steady until doubling

  12. New investigators are entering system at higher rate than experienced are leaving it

  13. The future… • Questions to consider: • What is an optimal (or even acceptable) influx/egress rate? How would we determine it? How would we achieve it? • To add additional complexity: • How should we recognize the important role played by junior investigators who are not officially PIs but make significant contributions to the science? • Should we broaden definition of new investigator to include R21s? All RPGs? Or is R01 the only acceptable measure of “significant independent” research support?

  14. “And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages.”
