N1 - Funding Information: A second concern surrounds fairness. Philanthropic support for research is typically directed to a specific individual and his/her studies; other qualified scientists in the same area lack comparable access to these funds. In some institutions, clearance policies heavily control investigators' approaches to potential donors, restricting opportunity to certain physician-scientists. Clinicians who care predominantly for disadvantaged patient populations are far less likely to garner significant financial support from grateful patients. Conceivably, the NIH could reduce allocations to areas well funded through philanthropy, thereby further limiting other investigators' access to grants in those areas.
