We next examined how common this practice was across institutions. Table 1 lists all of the institutions that hired five or more individuals in this cohort. Eighty-two percent of these institutions hired at least one individual with whom they had previous experience, either as a trainee or employee. At 10 of the 22 institutions on this list, 50% or more of the hires were known to the institution as a previous trainee or employee. Across the entire cohort of 133 hiring institutions, 55% hired one or more individuals that were known to it by previous training or employment. Thus, it is clear that many institutions show a preference for hiring individuals that they “know.”
I am calling due to grave concerns with the freezing of communications at Federal agencies. Specifically, I am calling regarding HHS and the National Institutes of Health, including the indefinite suspension of council review meetings, review section, and travel. Currently, our state of [insert state here] benefits from over $654 million [WI data; insert data from your state here] in biomedical research funding from the NIH with a significant portion of that going to support jobs, innovation, and education, translating to $1.64 Billion in economic activity [WI data; insert data from your state here]. As a concerned local [citizen/resident/scientist/researcher/educator], I urge you to make sure that the money that has already been allocated for NIH extramural funding, including all training and workforce development grants remain committed. Having this funding removed would be disastrous for our local economy, important university biomedical research, and would lead to the loss of thousands of research training positions at the staff, postdoctoral, and graduate student level. NIH has always benefited from Congressional support across political ideologies, and continuing to commit to its funding and extramural projects ensures our country remains at the forefront of biomedical research efforts and innovations.
Dear Congressman [your Congressperson], I am calling due to grave concerns with the freezing of communications at Federal agencies. Specifically, I am calling regarding HHS and the National Institutes of Health, including the indefinite suspension of council review meetings, review section, and travel. Currently, our congressional district in [insert your Congressional District here] benefits from over $500 million [for WI-2; insert other here if needed] in biomedical research funding from the NIH with a significant portion of that going to support jobs, innovation, and education at [insert local Universities or institutes here if applicable]. As a concerned local [citizen/resident/scientist/researcher/educator], I urge you to make sure that the money that has already been allocated for NIH extramural funding, including all training and workforce development grants, remain committed.
