Age of Principal Investigators at the Time of First R01-Equivalent Remains Level with Recent Years in FY 2023

  Age of Principal Investigators at the Time of First R01-Equivalent Remains Level with Recent Years in FY 2023 by Mike Lauer In 2021, we  reported  that the age at which a researcher is designated on an NIH award for the first time had increased since 1995 and plateaued in the 2010s. We showed that the median age for PhDs first designated on an award remained around 41 in recent years while the median age of MDs and MD-PhDs was 44.

 Regulations.gov   How You Can Effectively Participate in the Regulatory Process Through Public Comment  GO TO LINK HERE   When most people think of laws, they think of bills passed by Congress and signed into law by the President. However, many legal requirements come from “regulations” or “rules” that are issued by agencies that work for the President, like the Department of Transportation or the Department of Health and Human Services, instead of Congress.  Regulations, like statutes passed by Congress, are law. Congress passes statutes that give agencies the authority to issue regulations. Regulations can impose binding legal requirements. Regulations can do everything from creating requirements for food manufacturing companies to prevent food-borne illness to outlining certain requirements for going through TSA security screening on your way to board a flight.
