UCSF护理学院在2021年度NIH研究资助中排名全美第一

Full text

The UCSF School of Nursing led the country as the No. 1 recipient of competitive federal research grants in 2021, securing $13.2 million to fund research that drives advancements in health.

The School ranked first among all nursing institutions nationwide in National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding, exceeding other private and public institutions by more than $2 million, according to rankings released by the Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research based on NIH data.

“Our nursing faculty lead innovative research that sheds new light and identifies practical solutions to complex health care problems,” said Dean Catherine Gilliss, PhD, RN, FAAN. “Our leadership in NIH funding underscores our continued commitment to transform health care for the diverse communities we serve.”

The School captured $1.7 million more in grants than in 2020, representing a 15 percent increase.

Research That Advances Health

The School’s nurse scientists leverage NIH funding to advance knowledge and science across five research themes: health equity, community and population health, digital health and ‘omics, aging, and symptom science.

These NIH-funded projects work to deepen understanding of cancer risk factors, long-term care for diverse, underrepresented older adults, treatment for diabetes, tobacco policies to reduce health disparities and more.

“In addition to our veteran scientists who received NIH funding, several early-stage faculty members received their first NIH grants,” said Julene Johnson, PhD, Associate Dean for Research. “The increased NIH funding that we secured in 2021 is a reflection of the innovative nature of our faculty’s research and their dedication to advancing health.”

Four faculty members — Annesa Flentje, Elena Flowers, Elena Portacolone and Laura Wagner — received their first R01 grants, a grant mechanism that signifies the hallmark of research independence. Professor Van Park received her first R24 grant, which are designed to support projects that enhance resources to serve biomedical research.

根据蓝岭医学研究所基于 NIH 数据发布的排名，该学院在美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH) 资助方面在全国所有护理机构中排名第一，超过其他私立和公共机构超过 200 万美元。

“我们的护理学院领导创新研究，为复杂的医疗保健问题提供了新的思路并确定了实用的解决方案，”FAAN 注册护士、注册护士、博士、院长凯瑟琳·吉利斯 (Catherine Gilliss) 说。“我们在 NIH 资助方面的领导地位凸显了我们为我们服务的不同社区转变医疗保健的持续承诺。”

与 2020 年相比，学校获得的赠款增加了 170 万美元，增长了 15%。

促进健康的研究

学院的护士科学家利用 NIH 的资金来推进五个研究主题的知识和科学：健康公平、社区和人口健康、数字健康和“组学”、老龄化和症状科学。

这些 NIH 资助的项目致力于加深对癌症风险因素的了解、对多样化、代表性不足的老年人的长期护理、糖尿病治疗、减少健康差异的烟草政策等。

“除了我们获得 NIH 资助的资深科学家外，还有几位处于早期阶段的教职员工获得了他们的第一笔 NIH 资助，”研究副院长 Julene Johnson 博士说。“我们在 2021 年获得的 NIH 资金增加反映了我们教师研究的创新性以及他们对促进健康的奉献。”

四名教员——安妮莎·弗伦杰、埃琳娜·弗劳尔斯、埃琳娜·波塔科隆和劳拉·瓦格纳——获得了他们的第一笔 R01 资助，这是一种标志着研究独立性标志的资助机制。Van Park 教授获得了她的第一笔 R24 赠款，该赠款旨在支持增加资源以服务于生物医学研究的项目。
