Threats to Funding NIH budget has been declining in constant dollars about 10 years ( ARRA funds in 2009 and 2010 excepted) Sequestration of 5- 10% of NIH budget will lead to about 2500 fewer new grants funded
Responses To Funding Threats • Industry support- now about 6 % of total
Responses To Funding Threats • Industry support • Philanthropy Examples: Harrington Discovery Institute Centers for Dialysis Care
Responses To Funding Threats • Industry support • Philanthropy • Widen range of Federal Sources CTSC cores and pilot grants AHRQ DOD PCORI
Patient Centered Outcomes Institute (PCORI) • Part of the Affordable Care Act • 2013 Budget $390 million • PCORI approved 25 awards, totaling $40.7 million over three years, to fund patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research projects
Responses To Funding Threats • Industry support • Philanthropy • Widen range of Federal Sources CTSC cores and pilot grants AHRQ DOD PCORI • Better grants to Traditional Federal Sources Multi PI / Team Collaboration with other departments / institutions
