Request to not to reduce the extramural salary limit for researchers funded by agencies in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The cut is an especially powerful deterrent to recruiting physicians-such as surgeons, oncologists, cardiologists, psychiatrists, and other specialists-into research at a time when the NIH itself has raised alarms about too few new physicians entering research careers.
