The National Institutes of Health funding for reproductive sciences research, specifically in academic departments of obstetrics and gynecology, is disproportionately low. Research is one of the most important pillars in advancing healthcare. Despite US Congress' vision in providing increased funding to the National Institutes of Health as a whole, underfunding for research in the departments of obstetrics and gynecology remains one of the several critical drivers in the decline in reproductive health and healthcare for women in the United States.
美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)对生殖科学研究的资助,特别是在妇产科的学术部门,非常低。研究是推动医疗保健发展的最重要支柱之一。尽管美国国会提出了增加对国立卫生研究院整体资助的愿景,但妇产科研究的资金不足仍然是导致美国女性生殖健康和医疗保健下降的几个关键因素之一。
