Gender Differences in Research Grant Applications for Pediatric Residents
Pediatrics, 08/12/09

Gordon MB et al. – Gender differences existed in research grant proposals and funding among pediatric residents and mirrored gender disparities previously noted in faculty studies. Specifically, women applied later in training, requested and received less money, and had unfavorable application scores compared with men. These differences were explained largely by the correlation of male gender with holding an advanced research degree. The advanced degrees likely represented enhanced research skills and mentoring.
