Funding opportunities for health research in India – A technical scan

A new paradigm for health research funding.

Challenges in Health Research Funding: an opinion

Several countries in the world are able to support health research. This capability is dependent upon the economy. One measure of economies that is generally used is the country's gross national product (GNP). Thus, it is of interest to ascertain the GNPs of a few countries. The GNP of the USA in 2014 was approximately $17,555.2 billion. For comparison, the GNPs of India, Great Britain, and Jap...

\Nonlinear Schrr odinger Equations, Wavelength Divison Multiplexing and Four Wave Mixing" In the limit of large frequency spacing the multisoliton solutions of the nonlinear Schrr odinger equation (NLS), which models the evolution of nonlinear waves in optical bers, are investigated. In Fourier space the individual pulses are found to always be widely separated, and hence can be easily, measure...

Factors associated with cumulative research funding of investigators from CIHR: a major health-research funding agency.

PURPOSE Few systematic studies have focused on determinants of cumulative research funding (CRF), a measure of research productivity among career researchers world-wide. Using researchers funded by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR), this exploratory study quantifies the association between CIHR-investigator roles and CRF obtained from the CIHR. METHODS CIHR grants and awards ...

Reply to “Funding by Lottery: Political Problems and Research Opportunities”

We thank Dr. Barnett for his kind comments (1). We agree that a major barrier to instituting a modified lottery is political, since government agencies are reluctant to acknowledge that peer review is unable to reliably stratify applications. It is counterintuitive that experts are little better than a random selection process at predicting the future success of proposals, even though the data ...
