In 1990, the Pediatric Endocrinology Nursing Society (PENS) developed a grant program to provide funding to advance pediatric endocrinology nursing practice through basic and applied research. Minimal data exist regarding the effect of grant funding on professional development and research dissemination. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent that PENS' grant funding has resulted in professional presentations, publications, and further research funding. Nineteen grants that received funding were identified. Survey questions included whether the results of the PENS-funded study were presented, published, and resulted in subsequent funding from other sources. Outcome data were available for 11 of 18 grants (61%). All funded studies were presented at PENS conference; 55% were presented at other national or international conferences. Sixteen publications resulted from seven funded studies; 64% of PENS' funded studies led to additional funding, and 18% resulted in additional research studies. In summary, the research grant program of PENS funded 19 grants, which resulted in numerous publications, presentations, and, in some cases, additional research funding from other sources. Many grant recipients acknowledged that PENS was their first source of research funding and gave them the opportunity to become experienced in their role as clinical researchers.
1990年，儿科内分泌护理协会（PENS）设立了一项资助计划，通过基础研究和应用研究为推进儿科内分泌护理实践提供资金。关于资助资金对专业发展和研究传播的影响，现有数据极少。本研究的目的是确定PENS的资助资金在多大程度上促成了专业报告、出版物以及进一步的研究资金。确定了19项获得资助的项目。调查问题包括PENS资助研究的结果是否进行了报告、发表，以及是否带来了其他来源的后续资金。18个项目中有11个（61%）有结果数据。所有获得资助的研究都在PENS会议上进行了报告；55%在其他国内或国际会议上进行了报告。7项获得资助的研究产生了16篇出版物；PENS资助的研究中有64%带来了额外资金，18%促成了更多的研究项目。总之，PENS的研究资助计划资助了19个项目，这些项目带来了大量出版物、报告，在某些情况下还带来了其他来源的额外研究资金。许多资助获得者承认，PENS是他们研究资金的首个来源，让他们有机会在临床研究人员的角色中积累经验。
