研究計畫分類

NIH的根本任務就是合理使用納稅人的錢支持生物醫學研究,因此,NIH需要根據其資助策略制定合理的基金分配及預算方案。其中約82% 的預算用于NIH 的院外研究項日(extramural research program),系通過基金或協議的方式資助美國國內外2000余個研究機構;10% 的預算用于NIH的院內研究項目(intramural research program),資助NIH內部直屬實驗室的2 000余項研究項目;另有約8% 左右的預算作為院內院外研究項目的共同基金。NIH的院內研究項H歸院內研究處管轄,負責所有與院內研究、培訓、技術轉讓有關的政策法規、審核、立項、實施管理及實驗室、臨床醫院之間的協調等。
NIH的院外研究項日由院外研究處管理,負責NIH基金政策的制定、實施等。對NIH以外的研究機構主要有三種資助方式:基金(grants)、合作協議(cooperative agreements),和約(contracts)。基金是最主要的資助方式, 支持各種與人類健康相關的研究項日和培訓計劃,一般由申請者個人提出研究日標,經評審通過后獲得基金支持, 資助年限l~5年, 資助機構不參與項目的研究過程;合作協議則事先由資助機構對研究計劃提出相應規定并發布特別申請須知ra specific request for applications,RFA),有時為了激發科學家對某些特殊領域的興趣,還會發布項日聲明(a program announcement,PA);研究與
開發(research and development,R&D)合同則是資助學術機構、非盈利性或商業性機構就NIH感興趣的特殊領域進行研究和開發,例如,抗乳腺癌卵巢
癌的化療藥物Taxol(泰素)的研發就是NIH簽署的眾多協議之一 。
NIH的研究基金(the NIH research grant budget)分四種:研究項目基金(research project grants,RPGs)、研究中心基金(research center grants)、小業創新研究一小企業技術轉讓基金(small business innovative research—small business technology transfer grants.SBIR—SBTTG)及其他研究基金(other research grants)。

我知道為什麼我喜歡聽電音了

因為我小時候玩的電動玩具背景音樂都是電音!
這也解釋了為什麼我喜歡流暢曲風 強節拍的快樂旋律

我真的非常寂寞

內心是空的
方向也不確定

2011年6月10日 星期五

越來越覺得自己做對了

看到罐量這樣 絕望的感覺
在比對過去跟現在的自己
還有我之前作的功課
我越來越覺得 有做對的感覺
