When Dr. Hamburg mentioned FDA is envying the NIH did she meanFDA is desiring more research funds and lab space to enhance their primary mission or are they trying to compete with NIH as an innovation center?
Dr. Williams,
Thank you for your comment.
My sense was that she is fully aware of the vast difference in size, and budgets. The envy was referred to the in-depth scope of the research pursuit at the NIH and the upmost quality of the scholars in residence.
