Open Thread: Obama's freeze and the NIH (UPDATED)

January 29, 2010

Had a letter come in to your friendly blogstaff today.

What are the implications (if any) of a three-year spending freeze by the Obama administration staring in 2011 on the NIH research budget (no money at all, no increase in money over 2010, a decrease vs. 2010)?

A couple of links to the story are here, here, here.
I don’t really have much of a response beyond “bad”. How about you?


UPDATE 020110:
Phew? ($1B, or about a 3% increase for NIH)

    The NIH should implement a year-on-year decrease to the NRSA postdoctoral salary scale. It’s better to have 3 unhappy postdocs than 2 happy ones and one unemployed one. Most research money goes to postdocs, so shaving their salaries can leverage up a lot of science.

    Take a tip from the organized Gay/Lesbian community. Like scientists, they’re generally shouldered aside by DC. Lobby the President. Forget about Congress. Perhaps, if Organized Science [OS] works really hard at getting to see and talk with the President. Who knows, Science might just get a sentence in next year’s State of the Union address, and action in the following year. Better than hand-wringing , don’t you think? OS may already be lobbying the President, but if so, OS needs to work harder and smarter. Both Ron Paul and Howard Dean are physicians; IMO, an MD is roughly the equivalent of a Masters in hard science. In politics, you have to fight for every cent. So, fight!

    there are plenty of jobs with less shit-tastic hours that have actual benefits beyond health insurance, that pay about as much as a postdoc. (i’m approaching 30 and have yet to have a retirement plan of any kind, not to mention i’m in the hole for having spent 8 years in school.) decreasing the already depressing postdoc salary is just taking further advantage of people who have made questionable decisions. how low shall we go as cost of living increases? $30k? $25k? for a phd? that’s approaching my personal line in the sand of “fuck this”
    so either way in that scenario, people are going to be leaving science. the variable is how you go about defeating them.

    While I agree that the end of the stimulus funding coming at the same time as a freeze on discretionary funding is sub-optimal, it may also be a fairly brief period (3 years). Science will survive.
    I do think it is a good time to think about low cost work that could be done (maybe high effort to low fixed costs); some of this type of work can be very helpful to building foundations of science and can help leave people in a position to succeed at the end of the freeze.
    So I guess I am going for “don’t panic” and “think constructively”. Your mileage may, of course, vary.

    As I commented elsewhere, the freeze, when arrives, will expose the hidden unemployment in science. For years American universities, with the help of the NIH, have built a cheap, yet very qualified working force that carries the majority of the bench work in research labs. This approach to scientific research has created an anomally in which people with the highest academic degrees are being paid less than most beginning nurses out of nursing school. As is clear from commenters such as leigh, this anomally cannot continue unabated. wimple’s idea is socialism-communism. If he want to pursue it, why not by reducing the salaries of fat, rich PIs to pay for a better salary to PDs? But of course, that won’t happened.
    Let me give you an example how distorted the system is today (a true story): A clinical institute within a certain medical school has been searching for a new head. The leading candidate is a Chinese PI who has six (6) R01s and five Chinese superPDs who work for him for over 5 years. He received an offer from Cornell University, but rejected it because they were not willing to commit to five additional positions for his cadre of lab workers. How a PI of six R01s can run an institute while managing all his projects? How a head of an institue with mediocre English can serve in that position? How superPDs, who all will become assist.profs upon their loyal benefector’s acceptance of the head job, could really do the job of an assist.prof when none of them can speak good enough English to communicate with non-Chinese peers? Can you see the problem? This American university is blinded by the six NIH grants that this PI brings with him. The hell with the institute’s administration and the other faculty members who work there; the hell with the fact that his superPDs will never really learn to speak English, since their communication among themselves and with their boss is done in Chinese. The main consideration is the IDC that this PI going to bring to the university.
    Whether there will be more stimulus money or three-year freeze, until we all feel the pain of the Bush’s Era great failings, the economic problems of the US must go through science, too. For a long time we burried our heads in the sand, paying peanuts to PDs, while promoting or, at least, accepting this crooked system as the best way to do science.
    Hopefully, the coming freeze and its consequences will make the scientific endeavore more efficient and leaner. For too long the engine of this endeavor, its scientists (mainly PDs), have been considered to be cheap labor force both by university administrations and many PIs. Contrary to whimple, I believe that the salary of three PDs should be given to only two PDs.

    I am losing all hope of ever getting funding again. The beauty of my MD is that my warm body will still be needed at my institution, even if I have to shut my lab down.
    I have loved doing science. I especially love communicating science. But as a PI who must see patients (I am one of two docs in my specialty in my region), I can never compete in productivity with the superlabs (with multiple R01s and post-docs).
    BTW, equating the MD to a master’s in “hard science” is a bit too much of a generalization (see #3). Most of us MDs with labs have done research fellowships after residency (total post-BS time 10-12 years). While the amount of time required is less than the post-doctoral stints most PhDs do, that is because we bring value to our universities through clinical work as well as research grants. Hiring an MD with “less certain” grant potential is thus less risky than a PhD with less post-doctoral experience. Of course, that also makes the physician-scientist (even with MD-PhD) less likely to succeed in the lab because we can always take the clinical route (and may even be encouraged to do so). I like to think that seeing the science through a clinical lens brings a unique perspective and value, albeit one that study sections do not seem to appreciate.

    This is a serious problem for MD/PhDs. When PhD-only tenure-track or tenured medical school faculty hit a rough funding patch, they still get their full salaries and their departments/institutions always throw at least some money at them to try to tide them over, but without piling any additional non-research duties on them.
    In contrast, MD/PhDs with clinical privileges are simply forced to increase their clinical efforts to make up the lost grant support for their salaries (which tend to be substantially larger than PhD-only faculty). Of course, this shift of effort from research to clinic has the effect of making it even less likely that the MD/PhD PI is going to be able to make it past the rough funding patch and achieve their previous level of grant support. In many cases, the entire research programs of such PIs ends up petering out completely.

    The leading candidate is a Chinese PI who has six (6) R01s and five Chinese superPDs who work for him for over 5 years.
    We have the identical situation here, except the PI with the 6 R01s is not Chinese, even though almost all of the recently AsstProf-converted former permadocs he brought with him are. Of course, having them be postdocs permanently isn’t going to work, because postdocs can’t apply for R01s. 🙂
    I like to think that seeing the science through a clinical lens brings a unique perspective and value, albeit one that study sections do not seem to appreciate.
    This is because the basic science oriented study sections are threatened by it. If the fly-pusher/yeast-grower/mouse-breeder/fish-spawner/worm-crawler crowd conceded that doing work with direct human relevance has value, the game they’ve been playing so successfully for so long, promising improved health to the public from NIH dollars and not delivering because their “basic science” studies never get validated in humans, becomes vulnerable. Instead, the lack of real-world human-beneficial productivity out of the NIH means that maintaining the NIH budget in a sustainable way just isn’t a priority for the American taxpayer, the American Congress, or the Obama (or Bush before him) Adminstrations.

    Median income for a 4-person family in most states is in the $55k to $65k range (see http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/income/4person.html). If you and your spouse are both first year postdocs on the NIH scale (currently $37k), you’re at ~$74k and already making more than the median for a couple with 2 kids. If you take a look at incomes for 1- or 2- person families (ie without kids yet), you’re well above it.
    You’re hardly on food stamps.
    Being a postdoc isn’t supposed to be a permanent position. It’s entry level in science. And it pays that way. If you get your first Asst Prof position, you’ll make ~40% more than you did as a postdoc – it’s not the golden ticket.
    If you’re in it for the salary, go into industry; my friends who did this make a lot more money than I do. But I like my job more. Just like I did when I was a postdoc.
    Of course, all of this is irrelevant to the original post. What do I think a spending freeze will do to NIH budgets? Well, part of that depends on how many of the hiring freeze stories at universities and medical centers are true. If universities aren’t coming up with the startup packages and positions that bring in new people with new grant submissions, then most likely NIH funding paylines stay where they are – which hurts, but isn’t going to stop science from happening.
    Universities and med centers will have to find new ways of subsidizing budgets and continuing the non-research missions of the institutions with fewer people – this will include increased teaching loads for PhDs, increased clinical work for relevant MDs. Yes, we’ll all have to work harder.
    Facilities will get older and less well maintained. Including our lab space. We’ll all complain a lot.
    And we’ll all live, because we all have it better than a lot of the US population – we’re employed, presumably doing something that we find fulfilling.

    I have lucked out (and will blog about it starting this spring), and have gotten 3 excellent Euro postdocs from great labs. No Americans even applied.
    As I see it, the best thing to do with post docs is to (1) not change the current scheme. It’s working. The best are given the most opportunity. (2) Subsidize drug companies etc. to hire the post docs so that they are not ‘really’ leaving the public science scene, but merely dipping their toes in the water to see if they like it. You can call it the private/public fusion fellowship.
    Otherwise, the handful of truly good/great American post docs that are out there will end up being thrown out with the bathwater. I think we need to stratify the post docs implicitly, by giving those who really aren’t going to end up running labs anyway a soft landing by greasing the skids for their eventual privately funded ‘pick up.’ In the absence of such action, we either screw the great post docs (short term, before they become PIs) or provide false hope to those that just don’t have the chops for this gig.

    My understanding of the freeze is that it’s a freeze on the total discretionary spending + inflation. It doesn’t mean every organization is frozen just that the total sum is frozen.
    Assuming it actually happens, it means that various government organizations will be fighting to enlarge or keep their piece of the pie. The “+ inflation” also means that it wouldn’t have to be an inflation-adjusted decrease like the past decade.

    They’re supposed to suck when used as permanent jobs instead of as training positions. Academic medical-research postdoc is a prototype example. Postdocs are essentially completely trained in everything they could ever learn from a lab experience in any given PI’s lab after 2, or at most 3 years. Longer than that and the postdoctoral position that was supposed to be for training the postdoc, has instead morphed into a role as production for the PI.

    and @19, medians are nice numbers to play with, but considering the cost of living in some localities is far and away NOWHERE NEAR the median, living near the median isn’t quite so great as you make it sound. i’m not asking for much in the salary department, really- just the ability to do more than barely make ends meet would be cool.

    Leigh@34:
    The point of using a median income is that there are a lot of people in that high-cost area making less than you. I was a postdoc in one of the expensive metropolitan areas – NIH salary is enough that you can pay rent on a lower end apartment, furnish your apartment with used furniture, go out to shows or to eat occasionally, and still be able to fly across the country for vacations. And you have enough security that you never have to worry about whether you’ll be able to pay a utility bill. It’s possible that my definition of “barely making ends meet” is influenced by the number of non-scientists I know, most of whom had much less disposable income than my postdoc self.
    If salary-to-cost of living ratio is the most important aspect of your postdoc – choose a high-quality research group in a cheap area of the country. There are plenty of them, and I know a number of PIs who say they are not filling postdoc positions because they can’t get qualified applicants.

    I agree with you, however if the sole purpose of graduate student and postdoc positions is to provide training, then who is supposed to play the main production role in the lab? From this point of view, the lab exists to provide a training environment for postdocs and students and the doing of the science is an incidental by-product. In my view it is not unreasonable for a PI to expect several productive years out of a postdoc. Yes, you will learn all you need in two years (during which most postdocs are not super productive), but why wouldn’t a PI expect the postdoc to stay on for another couple of years to produce science? Not just for the PI, but also for the postdoc who benefits from added publications. In an academic setting in the US there is no good position for someone to “produce” science without being a trainee. I guess the PI is supposed to be the main producer, and I would love to have more time to spend in the lab doing experiments, but obviously this becomes increasingly difficult over time.

These are the PI’s that chap my ass the ones who could give a shit about mentoring trainees as long as papers roll out the lab with their name on them and they keep renewing their grants. Not all PI’s are like this thank goodness though.
    I agree with whimple that the postdoc position should be a temporary trainee program but with the jacked up system in place it seems there are an abundance of postdocs in a holding pattern (as is the case in my lab with a postdoc/instuctor). Unfortunately for a lot of these folks there is nowhere to go. It is as if some rungs on the middle of the career ladder got kicked out and now they are stuck halfway up the ladder.

I have much luck with my PI who allows me to do a wealth of things to gain knowledge on the process of the research like letting me help write sections of grants (which he heavily edits because I’m the fucktard newbie trainee), review manuscripts, and help write a review article.

    Fair question. Examine the history of academic science: the multiyear postdoc is a relatively recent invention. As little as one generation ago, postdocs were optional, or were for one year or so if the trainee wanted to enter a different field of study. Who was doing the production then? Usually the PI with extensive hands-on interaction with the trainees. Pretty old-school huh?
    You will learn all you need in two years (during which most postdocs are not super productive), but why wouldn’t a PI expect the postdoc to stay on for another couple of years to produce science?
    I expect grad students to not be super productive in their first two years, mainly from wasted time in inefficient/irrelevant coursework, and then to ramp up productivity in their last two years. Without the coursework excuse and with an earned Ph.D. under their belt already, postdocs need to rapidly be brought up to speed and start being productive almost immediately upon arrival.

    WASHINGTON ­— Harvard, MIT, and a coalition of other powerhouse research institutions have thwarted a reform proposal by the Obama administration to slash the amount of government research money each school receives for overhead costs.

    The result is that about $10 billion a year, roughly a quarter of the nation’s university research budget, will continue to be channeled into such things as administrative salaries and building depreciation instead of directly into scientific studies.

    Critics say the system lacks accountability, unfairly rewards the biggest schools, and is an ineffective use of taxpayer research dollars in an era of fiscal austerity.
