Heggeness quoted in The Chronicle
Misty Heggeness (MPP/MSW '02 and PhD '10), research economist and branch chief at the U.S. Census Bureau, was quoted in The Chronicle of Higher Education in an article titled "Why Don't Young Scientists Get More Grants? They Often Don't Apply". The report highlights research done by several federal-grant experts that breaks down NIH award rates by age groups, finding that older scientists aren't necessarily any more successful than are their younger counterparts. Heggeness comments, "This definitely complicates things and requires a larger community
effort to examine why younger applicants are not applying to NIH for
funding as they have in the past. We also need to think
creatively about what it means to have an aging work force and how to
plan for the future given this reality." Read the article here. Connect with Misty on LinkedIn.
