[Womeninmedicine] Comparison of NIH funding amounts male vs female JAMA

[Weisz, Ora Anna]

Comparison of National Institutes of Health Grant Amounts to First-Time Male and Female Principal Investigators
See attached article from JAMA (March 5, 2019 Volume 321, Number 9 pp 898-900)

This study found sex differences in the size of NIH
funds awarded to comparable first-time female and male PIs,
even at top research institutions. Funding disparities favoring
men occurred among certain grant types, although for R01
grants, the most frequent award for first-time awardees,
women received larger grants, as previously observed. Although
the analyses controlled for key factors, limitations include
possible unmeasured confounding and no data on grant
applications that were turned down. Further study of the institutions
where inequalities were lowest may provide insight
into the reasons for sex imbalances in grant amounts
awarded during formative career stages.
