[edit] New investigator

Reads almost like a dictdef, seems to be exclusively used by NIH in a single set of resources. I'm not sure if this belongs on Wikipedia. Cyde Weys 20:56, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

• I feel the whip! :-) No. The definition of new investigator is quite extended across other funding agencies, not just the NIH. But, yes the entry is too short. I need a bit of time to collect some more material (see latest changes). I would like to deal with the problems of investigators starting their careers as independent researchers in a very competitive environment with limited funding. The NIH graph is quite worrying. I wonder if there are other studies for other grants that show similar trends.--Miguel Andrade 00:44, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
• Conditional keep an interesting article with the clear possibility for growth. Perhaps a title clarifying that it is for research, rather than PIs or something, would be nice. Makemi 04:23, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, but I am inclined to think it should be merged into an article on the general question of research grants and applications for them. However I can find no such article. In Australia, the term "Early career researcher" is used by the Australian Research Council, but there is no mention of it in that article. --Bduke 22:11, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
