In 1981 the average age of investigators receiving their first R01 grants was 36. In 2009, it was 42. Because attaining independent funding is often a requirement for securing an assistant professorship, the delay has led to a prolonged postdoctoral period.
Recognizing that an increased training period has the potential to stifle creative thinking among the most innovative minds, NIH director Francis Collins has established an Early Independence Award. These grants, roughly equivalent to an R01 award, would enable talented scientists to begin independent research directly from their doctoral program.
In explaining his rationale, Collins mentions the importance of giving motivated young investigators a lab of their own. The new award will require departments to support the winners, but in return they will receive an energetic colleague with a promising future.

As a means of transmission, that is to say sending data from point to point(s) digital is much more robust than analogue, as it is capable of correcting errors that occur in the transmission process. The ability to compress digital data allows much greater amounts of data to be sent in a given bandwidth, but this does cause some impairment to the signal, and particularly when high levels of compression are used and there are a lot of fast changes in the image. Since there is a financial incentive to increase the number of channels of TV that can be sent over a carrier, it is not entirely unexpected that compression may be excessive. However, these degradations are generally brought about by your usual friendly profit motive, and the possibility to encrypt and make signals available only to selected destinations by reason of content or on the basis of payment, is also reckoned as advantageous in this respect. Certainly FM radio is slightly better quality than DAB, again due to the comprson used in DAB to allow a greater number of channels on the carrier. Digital clocks and watches? Surely these differ only in the format of the display, rather than using digital means of operation? However, if any comment is appropriate here, a programme or timetable listing necessarily uses a printed digital format, so a digital clock, displaying time in the same format is surely quite acceptable, and given that there are 24 hours in a day, a digital time display can be easier to read than a sweep hand indication. In practice, a digital clock is easier to read “time now”, whilst a sweep hand (analogue) clock is easier used to show “time until, or since”. The matter you raise about disappointment with digital TV’s is more about the system of display rather than digital or analogue. The modern flat screen TV’s (which are, admittedly, digital) use LED and Plasma display panels rather than the traditional CRT which many regard as providing a better picture.

I have noticed that of all types of insurance, health insurance coverage is the most dubious because of the issue between the insurance coverage company’s need to remain making money and the consumer’s need to have insurance. Insurance companies’ earnings on health and fitness plans are incredibly low, consequently some providers struggle to make a profit. Thanks for the tips you talk about through your blog.

Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appeal.

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
