Abstract:
Objective:The Capital′s Funds for Health Improvement and Research (referred to as ″CFH″), established to address clinical medical issues, have been operating for over a decade. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the achievements of this fund and provide empirical support and recommendations for optimizing the operational model of the clinical research fund.Methods:An online questionnaire was used to investigate the following aspects of CFH: subject area, the person in charge, derived projects, theses, patents, transformation of results, and popularization and promotion.Results:A total of 745 projects were collected through the online survey, and after rechecking for outliers, 720 completed projects were ultimately included. The top three disciplinary domains, in terms of the number of completed projects, were oncology, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders. The age distribution of project leaders exhibited a left-skewed pattern, with a median age of 45 years. 319 (44%) received support from other related projects subsequently. 95% of the projects resulted in paper publication. 211 (29%) projects applied for patents and copyrights, with 141 projects being granted patent authorization. 78 (11%) projects successfully achieved technology transfer, with transfer and licensing being the most common modes. 156 (22%) projects disseminated their outputs, often targeting secondary hospitals and community health institutions.Conclusions:CFH aligns with local needs, and the outputs are substantial. In the future, consideration can be given to establishing an evaluation mechanism, increasing efforts to promote high-quality outputs, strengthening the organizational model set by the project guidelines, and further improving the rolling support mechanism.
