在肾脏病学界，人们对最近联邦预算削减和研究资金减少感到相当担忧。这对于即将开始作为医生科学家的职业生涯的初级研究人员来说尤其困难。因此，在这一最微妙但关键的过渡时期，必须向这些人提供联邦资金以外的资源。这篇评论的目的是提供一个非联邦资金来源的概述，重点是诺曼S。科普隆校外助学金计划。该计划强调在学术生涯发展最脆弱的时期支持研究人员;自2000年以来，它已向80多人提供了超过1100万美元的研究资金。结果是辉煌的，超过130篇出版物来自这些项目，超过90%的获奖者留在学术界。我们希望这些成就将鼓励其他实体和科学计划除了正在进行的活动外，也开展类似的活动。最终，这些集体努力将激励年轻的研究人员利用他们的知识，激情和奉献精神来推进肾脏疾病的研究。
There is considerable concern within the nephrology community about recent federal budget cuts and the decreasing availability of funds for research. This is especially difficult for junior investigators who are about to start a career as physician-scientists. Accordingly, it is imperative that resources other than federal funds be made available to these individuals during this most delicate yet crucial transition period. This commentary aims to provide an overview of nonfederal funding resources, focusing on the Norman S. Coplon Extramural Grant Program. This program emphasizes support of investigators at the most fragile period in their development of an academic career; it has provided >$11 million of research funds to more than 80 individuals since 2000. The outcome has been stellar, with more than 130 publications originating from these projects and >90% of awardees staying in academia. We hope these accomplishments will encourage similar activities by other entities and scientific programs in addition to ones that are ongoing. Ultimately, these collective efforts will inspire young researchers to use their knowledge, passion, and dedication to advance research into kidney diseases.
