The competition for public cardiovascular research grants has recently increased. Independent researchers are facing increasing competition for public research grant support and ultimately may need to seek alternative funding sources. Crowdfunding, a financing method of raising funds online by pooling together small donations from the online community to support a specific initiative, seems to have significant potential. However, the feasibility of crowdfunding for cardiovascular research remains unknown. Here, we performed exploratory data analysis of the feasibility of online crowdfunding in cardiovascular research.
近年来，公共心血管研究资助的竞争愈演愈烈。独立研究人员面临着公共研究资助支持的竞争日益加剧，最终可能需要寻求其他资金来源。众筹是一种通过在线社区汇集小额捐款来支持特定计划的在线筹集资金的方法，似乎具有巨大的潜力。然而，众筹用于心血管研究的可行性尚不清楚。在这里，我们对心血管研究在线众筹的可行性进行了探索性数据分析。
