The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) at the U.S. National Institutes of Health has an annual budget of more than $2.3 billion. The institute uses these funds to support fundamental biomedical research and training at universities, medical schools, and other institutions across the country. My job as director of NIGMS is to work to maximize the scientific returns on the taxpayers' investments. I describe how we are optimizing our investment strategies and funding mechanisms, and how, in the process, we hope to create a more efficient and sustainable biomedical research enterprise.
美国国立卫生研究院下属的国立综合医学科学研究所(NIGMS)年度预算超过23亿美元。该研究所利用这些资金支持全国各大学、医学院及其他机构开展基础生物医学研究和培训。我作为国立综合医学科学研究所所长的职责是努力使纳税人投资的科学回报最大化。我将阐述我们如何优化投资策略和资助机制,以及在此过程中,我们希望如何打造一个更高效、可持续的生物医学研究事业。
