Whenever I see variations of the "Dependency" comic by xkcd (xkcd.com/2347/), I always feel it's actually more like this:

I am arguing that your work is not Findable if it is named SPARK or ADVANCE etc. (no judgement if it is! I know these things are collective decisions anyway)

NIH staff are being required to fully fund ~ 50% of their grants. This means that all 4 years of an award will be paid out of this appropriation. This will help them get the appropriated funds spent, but will mean they can only fund (1/2 + 1/4*1/2) = 5/8 has many grants as they would have otherwise.
