30 How We Approached the Problem Venture-research approach Identify most-promising research not funded by the National Cancer Institute. Limit award applications to five pages. Make decisions in 60 days and fund in 90 days.

31 How We Approached the Problem Recruit human capital Prostate cancer research was labeled career suicide.

32 NIH funding increasingly goes to older researchers. In 1980, nearly 10% of all NIH grants went to young researchers - between age 31 and 33. In 2006, young researchers accounted for 1%. In 2007, more grants were given to 70-year-old researchers than those under age 30. Source: The Wall Street Journal 2/20/10
