Call to restore NIH's cap on grant funding

In her In Depth News story “NIH abandons grant cap, offers new help to younger scientists” (16 June, p. 1108), J. Kaiser reported that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) reversed its decision to cap grant funding according to the Grant Support Index and replaced it with the Next Generation Researchers Initiative (NGRI). As a member of the Advisory Council for the National Institute of General Medical Science, I was very disappointed by this decision.
