Abstract

OBJECTIVES

Endoscopic research is underfunded compared with other areas of research. In 2003 we evaluated trends in National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding for endoscopic research from 1972 through 2002. Here, we update those trends for 2003-2008.

METHODS

We calculated the number of federally funded endoscopic research grants and classified them as primary or secondary. Endoscopy funding was compared with other funding for the same period.

RESULTS

From 2003 through 2008, the NIH funded 76 primary and 114 secondary endoscopy grants. R01 grants accounted for 25% of these. Colorectal cancer research and imaging and advanced optical technology received most of the grants. More primary endoscopic grants were funded than Helicobacter pylori research grants or cardiac catheterization grants. The number of funded endoscopic grants was not different between the periods 1972-2002 and 2003-2008.

CONCLUSIONS

Endoscopic research remains underfunded compared with other areas of research.

摘要

目的

与其他研究领域相比，内镜研究的资金投入不足。我们于 2003 年评估了 1972 年至 2002 年期间美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）内镜研究资金的趋势。在此，我们更新了 2003 年至 2008 年的这些趋势。

方法

我们计算了联邦资助的内镜研究资助的数量，并将其分为主要或次要类别。内镜研究资金与同期的其他资金进行了比较。

结果

从 2003 年到 2008 年，NIH 资助了 76 项主要和 114 项次要内镜研究资助。R01 资助占这些资助的 25%。结直肠癌研究、成像和先进光学技术获得了大部分资助。主要内镜资助的数量多于幽门螺杆菌研究资助或心导管术资助。1972 年至 2002 年和 2003 年至 2008 年期间，获得资助的内镜研究数量没有差异。
