NINDS will limit awards to well-funded labs

In an effort to focus more resources on junior scientists, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) will now limit awards to laboratories that already have funding at levels of $1 million or more.  Although this policy has great intentions, it remains to be seen whether it will lead to increased levels of funding among new and early state investigators.  This article in Science provides more information about the new policy.
