I report on the results of a portfolio analysis of National Institutes of Health (NIH) support for clinical emergency care research.
A targeted query was created with data-mining techniques that accessed the NIH database for 2011 to 2014. The search was constructed to have a clinical focus; animal and bench research projects, as well as career development grants, were excluded. The search results were manually reviewed for appropriateness and then analyzed.
Six-hundred eighty-eight applications were analyzed. During the study period, the number of new emergency care projects submitted to NIH increased from 62 in 2011 to 153 in 2014. A total of 112 new applications were funded for $100 million, with an overall success rate of 23%. The total amount of support for both new and existing projects during the 4-year study period was $263 million. One third of the funded principal investigators were emergency medicine faculty, and their success rate for R01 funding was twice the NIH average.
Emergency care research makes up 0.7% of NIH spending on new research project grants. The success rate is high for emergency medicine principal investigators conducting clinical work. The overall success rate for emergency medicine R01s is similar to that of other clinical specialties.
我报告了美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）对临床急诊护理研究资助的项目组合分析结果。
运用数据挖掘技术创建了一个定向查询，访问了2011年至2014年的NIH数据库。搜索设定为聚焦临床；排除了动物和基础研究项目以及职业发展资助。对搜索结果进行人工审核以确保恰当性，然后进行分析。
分析了688份申请。在研究期间，提交给NIH的新急诊护理项目数量从2011年的62个增加到2014年的153个。共有112个新申请获得了1亿美元的资助，总体成功率为23%。在为期4年的研究期间，对新项目和现有项目的总资助金额为2.63亿美元。三分之一获得资助的主要研究者是急诊医学教员，他们获得R01资助的成功率是NIH平均水平的两倍。
急诊护理研究占NIH新研究项目资助支出的0.7%。从事临床工作的急诊医学主要研究者成功率较高。急诊医学R01的总体成功率与其他临床专科相似。
