Abstract
Academic medical centers are where most of the research sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is performed. In the past decade, the centers have scaled up their research operations as the NIH budget doubled but now face shortfalls as fewer proposals are funded. In this Sounding Board article, an argument is made for more robust long-term NIH support.
