Policy review reveals systemic hypercompetition in US biomedical research, highlighting an urgent need for fundamental structural reform.
Key Points

- Critical policy review evaluating structural funding patterns, workforce dynamics, and training models across the US biomedical research sector.
- The flawed assumption of unending rapid growth has generated an unsustainable, hypercompetitive research environment.
- Systemic pressures deter high-caliber prospective students from scientific careers and constrain experienced investigators from producing high-quality work.
