The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced an increase in pay for predoctoral and postdoctoral researchers under the NRSA program. Predoctoral salaries will see a 4% rise, while postdoctoral minimum salaries will be elevated to $61,008, an 8% increase. This adjustment aims to provide a living wage for young life scientists and comes alongside enhanced childcare subsidies and additional funds for training expenses. In Canada, a significant enhancement in PhD and postdoc pay has been declared, marking the largest boost in two decades, as stated by U15 Canada CEO Chad Gaffield. This move is intended to convert a 'brain drain' into a 'brain gain' and enhance competitiveness on the global stage. Additionally, the NIAID has raised the R21 payline to 28, further supporting postdoctoral funding.
