A review of the National Institutes of Health funding history for urolithiasis shows that support has increased from about $3 million in 1990 to about $4.7 million in 1993 and to an estimated $5.1 million in 1994. The award of large project grants accounts for the increase: individual research project grant funding (R01-type grants) has not increased. The overall funding for urologic research supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases has more than doubled in this same period, with most of the increase attributable to the award of individual research grants. Although there has been a significant number of urolithiasis research grant applications submitted in this time period, the percent of successful (funded) applications continues to lag behind the number in other urology-related areas. Strategies for improving the award rate for urolithiasis-related research grant applications are reviewed.
对美国国立卫生研究院（National Institutes of Health）尿石症研究资金历史的回顾显示，资助金额已从1990年的约300万美元增加到1993年的约470万美元，预计1994年将达到510万美元。大型项目资助的授予导致了这一增长：个人研究项目资助（R01类资助）并未增加。国立糖尿病、消化和肾脏疾病研究所（National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases）支持的泌尿学研究的总体资金在同一时期增加了一倍多，大部分增长归因于个人研究资助的授予。尽管在此期间提交了大量尿石症研究资助申请，但成功（获得资助）申请的百分比仍落后于其他泌尿学相关领域。本文回顾了提高尿石症相关研究资助申请成功率的策略。
