To enhance their chances of securing sustainable funding, researchers can:
1. Diversify Funding Sources: Relying on multiple funding streams can mitigate the risk of losing all funding if one source dries up. 2. Collaborate: Partnerships with other researchers, institutions, and sectors can open up additional funding opportunities. 3. Advocate for Public Health: Raising awareness about the importance of epidemiological research can help garner public and political support. 4. Show Impact: Demonstrating the tangible outcomes and [public health benefits]() of research can make a compelling case for continued funding.
