Re: biomedical postdocs Herbert B. Chermside 09 Mar 2000 15:31 EST

"Post Doc" has caused major confusions both at my institution and at
others.  Part of it is that many PI's say "postdoctoral fellow" -- and NO
postdoctoral fellow may be charged to a research grant.

"Post-doctoral researcher" can be differentiated from "postdoctoral fellow"
in terms of whether there is, technically, an employment relationship or a
trainee relationship.

But your question is still germain!  In my experience, there often are
"postdoctoral researchers" on research grants from sponsors other than NIH.
 And there are a few postdoctoral fellowships that are from other sponsors.
 But I've no quantification to add.
