Towards Independence: Resubmission Rate of Unfunded National Heart Lung and Blood Institute R01 Research Grant Applications among Early Stage Investigators

摘要

PurposeThe current, budget-driven low rate of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding for biomedical research has raised concerns about the ability of new investigators to become independent scientists and their willingness to persist in efforts to secure funding. The authors sought to determine resubmission rates for unfunded National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) early stage investigator (ESI) independent research grant (RO1) applications and to identify predictors of resubmission.
