Article Abstract:
The grants from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) were the major topic for discussion during the 2006 Society for Neuroscience meeting. The NIH received 46,000 grant applications in 2006, the number of which is forecast to reach 49,000 in 2007, and the average grant sizes have grown by 40%, though the Congress has stopped increasing the NIH budget.
