Research is a fundamental component of the development of quality emergency care systems. Developing qualified professionals and programs to conduct emergency care research is essential to understanding epidemiology in low resource settings. This leads to evaluating research outcomes, developing clinical practice guidelines and program implementation. This paper aims to introduce the reader to opportunities for research funding at various stages of one's career. We will discuss concepts necessary to obtain funding for research, a crucial step towards initiating a research program. The chapter further describes competitive funding mechanisms including governmental agencies, foundations and private industry along with organisations that offer funding for global health and emergency care research. We describe categories of grants specific to a stage of an investigator's career, developing a team for a proposal and the grant application process.
研究是高质量急救系统发展的一个基本组成部分。培养合格的专业人员和开展急救研究的项目对于了解资源匮乏地区的流行病学至关重要。这进而促使对研究结果进行评估、制定临床实践指南以及项目实施。本文旨在向读者介绍在职业生涯各个阶段获得研究资金的机会。我们将讨论获得研究资金所需的概念，这是启动研究项目的关键一步。本章还将描述竞争性资金机制，包括政府机构、基金会、私营企业以及为全球健康和急救研究提供资金的组织。我们将介绍针对研究人员职业生涯特定阶段的资助类别、为提案组建团队以及资助申请流程。
