Business Outlook
Pros
Many lab heads at NIH are leaders in their fields. The constant, desperate search for funding most scientists are familiar with is not an issue here. NIH has many resources available for career development.
Cons
There is more paperwork required to get some things done than at most universities. NIH is like a university campus with no students, so it lacks some of the qualities that a steady influx of optimistic young people brings to the lab environment.
