Me still waiting on an institutional response to the NIH reminding universities they can treat NRSA fellows like full employees.

[Mariah Hoye @mariahhoye]

A reminder that grants go to institutions.

https://t.co/7FaUu6Fj0e

And no, NIH does not tell your institution it can’t treat NRSA recipients as employees and give them access to all of the benefits that normal employees receive.

"The NIH could increase the starting salary to $70,000 for the more than 4,000 postdoctoral researchers .... just a tiny fraction (0.13 percent) of the NIH’s annual $45 billion budget. But it could make a massive difference in the lives of early-career scientists." 2/2
