“Important takeaways to strengthen physician-scientists in the face of flat/declining NIH funding:

  • Rethink R01-focused culture
  • Normalize funding gaps & provide bridge resources
  • Support women & URMs
  • Flexible tenure metrics

Kudos to radiation oncology leaders who are paving the way.”

“Physician-scientists are a dying breed going from 4.7% in ’80s to ~1.5% today. Multiple factors contribute including flat/declining NIH funding. Translational research is critical for advancing clinical care.”
