Have you missed the funding cut despite a stellar score on your U.S. National Institutes of Health grant (NIH)? Do not give up hope. The National Health Council (NHC), a nonprofit umbrella group based in Washington DC, to some 100 groups of patients and companies, unveiled a database on Monday that connect rejected projects and donor potential funding.
The site, called funding health research, is supposed to be "the Match.com funding agencies," the NHC spokeswoman Emily Noonan. Any researcher who had a proposal that NIH deemed worthy of peer review, but has no funds can display their abstract and contact information at no cost. registered funding agencies (but nobody else) will be able to troll the summaries of projects they like.
At this time, the site has information of only the 42 patient advocacy groups such as the American Cancer Society and the Alzheimer's Association. enterprises can be added later, perhaps for tax, said Nancy Hughes, assistant vice president NHC for communications and marketing.
NHC offers the database there are more than 3 years, but it took a while to round financing ( $ 112,000 divided roughly between Pfizer and NIH) and build the database, said Hughes. On his blog, NIH extramural chief researcher Sally Rockey called "good news on the front I-going-to-get-my-grant-funded in today's economy-where-am."
