Funding of and advocating for health care research

Introduction

The United States leads the world in the funding and execution of medical research, but the lack of a robust national health care system makes it difficult to identify how much is actually being done. This article will explore what we know about research funding in America and its relationship to health care. We’ll look at how funds are allocated at the federal level and between public and private sources, as well as trends over time. In addition, we’ll discuss some key challenges facing researchers including disparities in funding across demographics groups such as race/ethnicity or gender; early-career career development issues; rising non-governmental involvement in funding health care research; and gaps between what research has shown effective treatments are versus what treatments actually have been found effective on average across all populations

Comparing the United States with other countries

In the United States, we spend more on health care than other countries. But we also spend less on research to improve our health system.

According to a report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), in 2015 the United States spent $3,017 per capita on health care—more than double that for Australia ($1,342) or Canada ($1,153). However, according to data from OECD’s Health Accounts database:

• The U.S., France and Germany all rank among the lowest in terms of total expenditure as well as investment per person;

• Japan spends nearly three times more than China despite having much higher life expectancy;

The overall challenge of funding research

The funding landscape for health care research is changing.

• Funding comes from a variety of sources, including government agencies and private foundations.

• It’s often short-term and project-based (meaning it isn’t permanent).

• There are many different types of research: epidemiology studies on disease prevalence; clinical trials on drug efficacy or toxicity; basic science projects like genome sequencing that can lead to new discoveries about how the human body works; consumer behavior studies looking at why people make decisions they do—and what they could do better—to improve their health outcomes or prevent disease onset in others around them.

Early and mid-career challenges

In addition to being funded by industry, early and mid-career researchers need support from their institutions. Like any field of study, research has its challenges: there are fewer resources available to early and mid-careers than there are at the beginning or end of careers. This can make it difficult for these individuals to obtain funding for their work in the early stages of their career compared with someone who has already established themselves as an expert in a particular field. However, mentorship is key here because mentoring provides young researchers with guidance on how best to navigate through this process—and this applies not only for academic research but also for nonacademic pursuits such as consulting or entrepreneurship (e.g., start-up businesses).

Disparities in research funding

In the United States, the research funding gap for health care disparities is staggering. In 2016 alone, for example, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) allocated only $1.7 billion to fund health disparities research—less than one percent of its total budget that year. Even more shocking is that researchers who focus on these issues receive less than half of what they did just ten years earlier: $400 million in 2008 compared with $200 million in 2006.

The disparity is not just between researchers or diseases but also within fields; many studies show that women are underrepresented in their field and are receiving less funding than their male peers when it comes time to pursue grants or tenure-track positions at top universities—and this trend hasn’t changed since 2009 despite some progress made by women scientists overall during those years!

The growing role of non-governmental entities in research funding

Non-governmental entities are becoming increasingly important in funding research. Private companies, non-profit organizations and philanthropists are all playing an increasing role in the funding of health care research, as well as providing support for researchers.

The United States offers many opportunities for medical research and innovation, but we need to be careful about how it is supported.

The United States is still a leader in medical research, but we need to be careful about how it is supported. Many other countries are catching up, and they have been doing so for several decades. The United States also needs to be careful about how it supports innovation and development of new technologies. We can’t afford to let our competitors get any ground on us!

Conclusion

We hope this article has helped you understand the current state of medical research in America, and where we need to focus our efforts.
