What changes should happen? The @NIH should own 2% of all IP that emerges from its grant funding. The influx of $ would likely sustain and grow the NIH in perpetuity.

[Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. @hubermanlab]

Ideas scaring the academic establishment; could happen soon
1) Capping “overhead” funds for university admins on @NIH grants
2) Taxing of university endowments
3) Making those working at NIH itself write standard grants
4) age-out of grant competition after 65?

Thoughts?
