The committee reviewed evidence concerning the adequacy of NIH compensation in light of the career paths for researchers and the current NIH salary structure. Because the intramural staff is so heterogeneous, the committee considered the adequacy of compensation for three groups of researchers: postdoctoral fellows (non-tenured scientists)

There was a shift toward entry into the Staff Fellow Program, and away from the Medical Staff Fellow Program. Table 3-5 shows a troublesome trend in physician recruitment, as it presents data on the Medical Staff Fellowship Program and its precursor, the NIH Clinical Associate Program (Table 3-5 treats them as one)

The decentralized nature of the intramural programs was said to make it difficult to coordinate NIH-wide or DHHS priorities. The decentralized appropriation structure and autonomy of the institutes often make it difficult to shift resources to respond to scientific opportunities, congressional concerns, and NIH or secretarial directives (IOM, 1984)

From page 73... ...
The committee found that, in selected areas, NIH salaries are not competitive, particularly for physician researchers and overall for those at the most senior levels. Although federal salaries in general lag behind the private sectors, this is less of a problem for NIH than the fact that the system lacks the flexibility necessary to compete in a tight labor market.

NIH has for many years compared its salaries for GS-13s -14s, -15s with Assistant, Associate, and full Professors in medical schools, and has made the comparison for Ph.D.s in basic science departments and for M.D.s in clinical science departments.
