Deputy Editor Alison McCook moderates a debate about policies at the National Institutes of Health designed to increase success rates on grant applications submitted by young investigators. Discussing the issue are columnist and NIH-funded biologist Steven Wiley and Richard Gallagher, editor of a recent opinion from Les Costello, who argued that current policies discriminate against senior scientists. (The NIH responds to these allegations in this month's issue.)
