Many schools are now scraping for steep falls to support. At Duke University, managers have implemented the hiring of freezings, reduced research plans and will reduce the number of permitted biomedical PhD students by 23 percent or more, according to reporting by the Associated Press. Last year the school took $ 580 million in subsidies and contracts from the National Institutes of Health.
On 6 February, an e -mail was sent to Vanderbilt University in which they are instructed to reduce graduates by half the board, according to Stat. The outlet also reported that the Faculty of the School of Public Health of the University of Washington has reduced the recordings.
The faculty of the University of Pennsylvania also reported that they had to withdraw the admission offers to applicants and the assignment to considerably lower the admission rates, according to the Daily Pennsylvanian. The University of Wisconsin-Madison also reduces its graduated programs, according to the WKOW.com.
Beth Sullivan, who supervises Duke's graduated programs, said the AP that the shrinking classes mean a shrinking pipeline in the American medical research community, which dominates global health research fields and is an important power in the economy of the country. “Our next generation of researchers are now ready on the edge of this cliff, not knowing whether there will be a bridge that will bring them to the other side, or whether it is,” said Sullivan.
“This is a serious blow to the science and training of the next generation of scientists,” Siyuan Wang, a geneticist and cell biologist at the Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, said nature. “With fewer scientists there will be less science and innovation that stimulate social progress and improve public health.”
