Small research grants, or R03 grants, provide limited, short-term support for individual research projects. R03s may be an excellent means of support for projects by nutrition scientists at all stages in their careers. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has awarded roughly one-half of all nutrition-related NIH R03 grants in the period from 2005 to 2010. A detailed review of the recent NCI grant portfolio identified potential strategies for successful applications. Projects that addressed important nutrition and cancer issues had feasible and appropriate specific aims, were innovative, and were based on sound concepts were most positively viewed by reviewers. Furthermore, applicants with suitable expertise, training, mentorship, and records of accomplishment who, when appropriate, collaborated with investigators with complementary knowledge and skills were more likely to receive higher priority scores.
小额研究资助（R03 拨款）为个人研究项目提供有限的短期支持。R03 拨款可能是营养科学家在其职业生涯各个阶段开展项目的极佳支持方式。在 2005 年至 2010 年期间，美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的营养相关 R03 拨款中，约有一半是由美国国家癌症研究所（NCI）授予的。对最近 NCI 资助组合的详细审查确定了成功申请的潜在策略。那些针对重要营养与癌症问题、具有可行且适当的具体目标、创新性强且基于合理理念的项目，最受评审人员的好评。此外，具有适当专业知识、培训、指导和成就记录的申请人，如果合适的话，与具有互补知识和技能的研究人员合作，更有可能获得更高的优先评分。
