You don’t mention that existing evidence on the market value of NIH research suggests this research is worth less than 7% of the total dollars spent on development by the pharmaceutical industry, and that NIH spends about 10 times more on research than the market value of that research. Its literally a waste of money,
What an interesting if unsourced critique that defies common sense, not to mention a foundational macroeconomic concept known as the multiplier effect. The medical school appears to be doing great. Well done. Congratulations.
Cindy B. There is a broad spectrum of discovery in biomedical research. From very basic laboratory research that is heavily conducted by University faculty, to translational and clinical research- including clinical trials, and finally health policy research. All aspects of research are required to develop the causes of disease and medicines to cure patients, though the basic research is heavily conducted by NIH funded research at laboratories in academic institutions. So your premise really grossly undersells the value of the NIH. Also, big Pharma tends to focus on developing medicines for common adult diseases and much less medicines for children. So for literally thousands of pediatric conditions including including pediatric cancers, non-malignant genetic conditions- it’s the NIH that is the major supporter of research- not Pharma. I don’t view investment in children- who are our future- as a waste of money.
