论文摘要
对现有机构研究建议数据库的分析可以为科学资金均等提供新的见解。这项研究的目的是分析医学院教职员工之间种族/种族与校外研究建议与奖励税率之间的关系，并确定是否有证据表明研究人员是否由于跨提交类别的差异不平等而改变了他们的提交策略。作者对密歇根大学医学院2010年至2022年之间提议的开始日期进行了14,263个生物医学研究建议的分析，衡量了在4个可能的提交类别（R01和等价计划，其他联邦行业，其他联邦，行业和非企业）的提案提交和奖励率。来自不同种族/族裔的生物医学研究人员遵循密歇根大学医学院内明显不同的提案提交策略。种族/民族与提案奖励奖励之间也有明显的关系。黑人/非洲裔美国人和亚洲研究人员在所有提交类别中相对于白人研究人员似乎处于不利地位。这项研究很容易由其他学术研究机构复制，从而揭示了积极干预的机会。
The analysis of existing institutional research proposal databases can provide novel insights into science funding parity. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between race/ethnicity and extramural research proposal and award rates across a medical school faculty and to determine whether there was evidence that researchers changed their submission strategies because of differential inequities across submission categories. The authors performed an analysis of 14,263 biomedical research proposals with proposed start dates between 2010-2022 from the University of Michigan Medical School, measuring the proposal submission and award rates for each racial/ethnic group across 4 possible submission categories (R01 & Equivalent programs, other federal, industry, and non-profit). Biomedical researchers from different racial/ethnic groups follow markedly different proposal submission strategies within the University of Michigan Medical School. There is also a clear relationship between race/ethnicity and rates of proposal award. Black/African American and Asian researchers appear disadvantaged across all submission categories relative to White researchers. This study can be easily replicated by other academic research institutions, revealing opportunities for positive intervention.
