You actually had two questions. One was about research capacity and funding for research and the other was about the debt load. I also wanted to say earlier that chiropractic students graduate--as there's no real funding or subsidy for chiropractic education--with a debt load of $120,000 to $150,000 as well. But it doesn't entice people to go into research because researchers make very poor money.
So we actually have residency programs where we're training researchers, and it's really hard to entice our chiropractic students to go into research residencies. We have three residency programs. We can only accept five students a year, and of those students, about three of them will go into research. But because of the way research projects are funded, we can't fund a salary for a researcher under a grant anymore, and you can barely get administrative costs covered under research grants. This is an issue I'm facing every day in the research I'm doing.
So I'd like to comment that not only do we have problems with students with debt loads, but they're not going to choose research careers because they can't pay their student loans off that way.
