Why is it that almost 75% of the grants (NIH) available are awarded solely
based on your ethnic make-up? As a recent Ph.D. graduate I am starting to
write my own grants but am dismayed at the lack of money available for
Ph.D.s that do not fall into a particular group. One of the reasons I got
into science was to get away from this type of bullshit and into an
environment that awards achievement based on someones qualifications and
what he has done in the past rather than what he looks like. What do
others feel about this?
