1Today, most scientific research is funded by government grants, companies doing research and development, and non-profit
2foundations. As a society, we reap the rewards from this science, but we also help pay for it. You indirectly support
3science through taxes you pay, products and services you purchase, and donations you make. Funding for science has
4changed with the times. Historically, science has been largely supported through private patronage (资助), church
5sponsorship, or simply paying for the research yourself. Today, researchers are likely to be funded by a mix of grants
6from various government agencies, institutions, and foundations. Other research is funded by private companies. Such
7corporate sponsorship is widespread in some fields. Almost 75%of U.S. clinical trials in medicine are paid for by
8private companies. And, of course, some researchers today still fund small-scale studies out of their own pockets. Most
9of us can't afford to do nuclear research as a private hobby, but birdwatchers, rock collectors, and others can do real
10research on a limited budget. In a perfect world, money wouldn't matter-all scientific studies would be completely
11objective. But in the real world, funding may introduce biases. Drug research sponsored by the pharmaceutical (制药的)
12industry is more likely to end up favoring the drug under consideration than studies sponsored by government grants or
13charitable organizations. Similarly, nutrition research sponsored by the food industry is more likely to end up favoring
14the food under consideration than independently funded research. So what should we make of all this? Should we ignore
15any research funded by companies or special interest groups? Certainly not. These groups provide invaluable funding for
16scientific research. Furthermore, science has many safeguards in place to catch instances of bias that affect research
17outcomes. Ultimately, misleading results will be corrected as science proceeds; however, this process takes time.
18Meanwhile, it pays to examine studies funded by industry or special interest groups with extra care. Are the results
19consistent with other independently funded studies? What do other scientists have to say about this research? A little
20examination can go a long way towards identifying bias associated with the funding source.
