美国的休斯医学研究所(HHMI,Howard Hughes Medical Institute)建立于1953年,但在1984年以后真正扩展,目前有一百六十亿美元的本金,以其利息资助生命科学研究,方向较广(包括与医学关系极小的植物生物学),而以人才导向,它的座右铭是“人,而非项目”(“People, Not Projects”),支持分布在全美七十多个机构有优秀记录的研究者,被公认为美国资助最有效的基金,长期稳定支持支持3百位左右生物学家,二十多年来出现了15位诺贝尔奖获得者。

为什么要选择这些植物学家? 理由见 http://www.hhmi.org/research/hhmi-gbmf/
Despite the central role plants play in maintaining human health and in
healthcare, basic research in the plant sciences has long been
underfunded in the United States. HHMI and the Gordon and Betty Moore
Foundation are collaborating on a new program to boost support for plant
scientists at a critical time. The HHMI-GBMF investigators—some of the
nation's most innovative plant scientists—are conducting research on a
variety of plants, such as wheat, maize, tomato, Arabidopsis,
moss, and algae. The investigators will receive, over five years, the
flexible support necessary to move their research into creative new
directions.
当然, 我也有其他理由不支持 植物生物学与医学关系极小 的观点。但中文写字不方便, 故略。
