A James Lind Alliance Partnership recently identified the top research priorities for DCM. To effectively address these priorities, appropriate funding of DCM research is essential.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aim of this paper is to review current funding in DCM research and highlight future research funding opportunities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic search of Web of Science for \u201ccervical AND myelopathy\u201d was conducted. Papers exclusively studying DCM with declared funding and published between January 1, 1995, and March 21, 2020, were considered eligible. Funding sources were classified by country of origin and organization type. A grant search was also conducted using Dimensions.ai (Digital Science Ltd).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 621 papers were included, with 300 unique funding bodies. The top funders were AO Spine (n=87); National Institutes of Health, USA (n=63); and National Natural Science Foundation, China (n=63). Funding sources in the USA (n=242) supported the most DCM research, followed by China (n=209) and Japan (n=116). Funding in the USA was primarily provided by corporate or nonprofit organizations (146\/242, 60.3%), while in China, the majority of funding was from institutions (208\/209, 99.5%). Dimensions.ai gives an estimate for the total declared grant funding awards for DCM-specific research. Data here showed 180 grants awarded specifically for DCM research, with a total value of US $45.6 million since 1996.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>DCM funding appears to be predominantly from the USA, China, and Japan, aligning with areas of high DCM research activity and underpinning the importance of funding to increasing research capacity. The existing funding sources differ from medical research in general, representing opportunities for future investment in DCM.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/36194","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,17]],"date-time":"2022-05-17T08:07:27Z","timestamp":1652774847000},"page":"e36194","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Existing Funding Sources in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Research: Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9941-7417","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Henry","family":"Bestwick","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0286-2953","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jye Quan","family":"Teh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6788-745X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oliver","family":"Mowforth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8839-4718","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ben","family":"Grodzinski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5145-7199","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mark","family":"Kotter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0591-5069","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Benjamin","family":"Davies","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.k186"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1073858412467377"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BRS.0000000000001842"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2192568220934496"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2192568217701914"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wneu.2016.12.124"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2192568219832855"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171\/2019.11.SPINE191300"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/1364557032000119616"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12967-019-1902-7"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/dme.13411"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BRS.0000000000000913"},{"key":"ref13","unstructured":"Faster systematic reviewsRayyan QCRI2020-08-15https:\/\/rayyan.qcri.org\/welcome\/"},{"key":"ref14","unstructured":"Dimensions.ai2020-11-29https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12874-018-0529-3"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD012365"},{"key":"ref17","unstructured":"Numpy2020-11-29https:\/\/numpy.org\/"},{"key":"ref18","unstructured":"Panda Data Analysis Library2020-11-29https:\/\/pandas.pydata.org\/"},{"key":"ref19","unstructured":"Choropleth maps in PythonPlotly2020-11-29https:\/\/plotly.com\/python\/choropleth-maps\/"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00701-021-04767-6"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12961-015-0074-z"},{"key":"ref22","unstructured":"Government\/agencyRTWBResearch and development expenditure (% of GDP) | DataThe World Bank2020-11-29https:\/\/data.worldbank.org\/indicator\/GB.XPD.RSDV.GD.ZS?end=2018&most_recent_value_desc=true&start=1996&view=chart"},{"key":"ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0140-6736(13)61046-6"},{"key":"ref24","unstructured":"Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices2021-01-13https:\/\/www.jnjmedicaldevices.com\/en-US\/companies\/depuy-synthes"},{"key":"ref25","unstructured":"ResearchMS Society2021-01-13https:\/\/www.mssociety.org.uk\/research"},{"key":"ref26","unstructured":"MND Association2021-01-13https:\/\/www.mndassociation.org\/research\/"},{"key":"ref27","unstructured":"NewsPAOMRCCharities' funding contributes to UK medical research excellenceAssociation of Medical Research Charities2021-01-13https:\/\/www.amrc.org.uk\/news\/charities-funding-contributes-to-uk-medical-research-excellence"},{"key":"ref28","unstructured":"Government\/agencyRUK ParliamentHouse of Commons -
