Must read for our French colleagues working in Inserm units. Some extracts: "The solution, according to the report, is to transform France’s major biomedical research and human health organization, INSERM, into an NIH-type body" "A second branch of INSERM would still perform some research, but mainly to directly support its national strategic role, similar to NIH’s intramural research program" "This redefined dual role would also mean INSERM taking a backseat in the “mixed research units” it currently shares with university researchers" "the report urges a more radical overhaul of the agency—an idea that makes INSERM chairman and CEO Didier Samuel uneasy" Count me too in the "uneasy" category. https://lnkd.in/e96wZ8EA
