Many feel that the R01 grant system supporting biomedical research in the U.S. is broken, discouraging entry of young investigators into the system and inadequately supporting more established investigators. Here, I argue for a "person-not-project"-based scheme that would permit creative, unfettered research by new investigators, better tie ongoing research contributions to continued funding, and help match the number of investigators seeking support with available funds.
许多人认为,美国支持生物医学研究的R01资助体系存在缺陷,阻碍了年轻研究人员进入该体系,并且对资深研究人员的支持也不足。在此,我主张采用一种基于“人而非项目”的方案,该方案将允许新研究人员进行创造性的、不受束缚的研究,使正在进行的研究贡献与持续资助更好地挂钩,并有助于使寻求支持的研究人员数量与可用资金相匹配。
