Researchers who hold at least three grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) make up a growing portion of its grantees, according to a new study.
NIH’s efforts to help women and minorities need to be “multifaceted,” says neuroscientist and Associate Vice Provost Sherilynn Black of Duke University, who leads initiatives for faculty advancement at Duke. Both the study team and NIH point in part to the struggles of women and racial and ethnic minorities to climb the academic ladder. But when the agency [proposed limiting](/doi/10.1126/science.356.6343.1108) investigators to the equivalent of three basic R01 research grants in 2017 to free up funds for more investigators, the proposal was shot down by critics who argued it would cripple large, productive teams. And they think a plan to enhance diversity, for instance by training minority students, should be a scored component of grant proposals. Lauer points to one encouraging trend: The share of NIH’s total grant dollars going to the top 1% of grantees has declined slightly, from 11% a few years ago to about 10% in 2020. NIH should expand mentoring programs aimed at helping women and minorities write more competitive proposals, the new paper’s authors suggest. (Asian men, by contrast, made up 15% of all funded investigators but 18.7% of the elite group.) White men predominate among these “super” principal investigators (PIs), with women and Black researchers much less likely to be part of this elite group. “A more level playing field where there were fewer superwealthy PIs would allow more excellent scientists to stay funded,” says University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, cell biologist Mark Peifer, who has supported capping the amount of NIH support allotted to individual investigators. The relative size of this group has tripled since 1991, when only about 3.7% of the then-18,820 investigators had three grants or more. “But if we have a system where there is an elite, let’s make that elite represent the broader community.” The new study, led by physician and health equity researcher Dowin Boatright of New York University’s Grossman School of Medicine, analyzed grant data for the nearly 34,000 investigators NIH funded in 2020, homing in on the 11.3%—nearly 4000—who held three or more grants, totaling a median of $1.3 million per grantee.

It used to be range anxiety cited by many consumers as a key roadblock to buying a battery electric vehicle. Now it's charging anxiety.
He says the whole idea is removing charging anxiety for consumers while maintaining for them a familiar process, observing, “if you think of a gas car, the reason you don't have gassing anxiety, is just because simply, whenever you need energy, stop somewhere for a few minutes and just drive off. “We've built our technology in a way that allows us to make the stations very, very inexpensive, so we can deploy them quickly,” said Hassounah. However, vehicles compatible with battery swapping are not yet available for sale in California, and there have been no announcements that auto manufacturers intend to produce them in significant quantities.” “So all of that money is going to go towards the expansion of our manufacturing capacity so we can meet that demand.” California's SB 1014 and the California Air Resource Board's (CARB) resulting Clean Miles Standard (CMS) will require 90% of vehicle miles traveled by rideshare fleets in California to be in zero emission vehicles by 2030, with interim targets beginning in 2023.
