Carolyn Beans wrote a blog post about our project to develop stochastic models of the regulatory network controlling cell division. She was particularly interested in aspects of cell physiology that are affected by random events and how cells manage to...
Dr. Sally Rockey published an interesting blog about the historical trends in NIH funding rates. The success rates are historically low but paradoxically, the number of people funded increases. This probably means the cost of managing government funds is going to...
A couple of weeks ago, we received the renewal of the NIH grant funding our collaboration with John Tyson to develop stochastic models of the regulatory network controlling the cell cycle in yeast. This is the third funding cycle of...
The proposal to renew the funding supporting our collaboration with John Tyson was examined by the NIH study section last week. We got a score of 18, which places in the top 2%. At NIH a good score is a...
I want to tell you how cyber-infrastructures can enable large research research projects involving specialists from multiple disciplines and why it makes economic sense to develop such an infrastructure. The most exciting scientific research often involves multiple disciplines. You may have...
In the January 31st, 2013 issue of Nature, Skip Garner published a comment entitled “Research funding: Same work, twice the money?“. In this article Garner and his collaborators report the results of a large scale analysis of grant applications submitted to...
