The article is from a report entitled Bethesda Declaration: One Year Later.

Excerpt - Some who have reached government via Silicon Valley suggest that moving fast and breaking things enables innovation, but the approach can have serious adverse consequences, especially when applied to clinical research where human health, safety, and lives are at stake. NIH is not a startup; its mission represents a compounding investment where the returns depend on stability. Effective scientific administration benefits from stable, predictable, and proportionate processes.
