目的评估耳鼻喉科教师中NIH资助的性别差异，并讨论这些差异的潜在原因。研究设计和设置分析在线NIH RePORTER系统上提供的NIH资助数据。方法2011和2012财年NIH对主要研究者（PI）的资助奖励。在耳鼻喉科部门，并用于检查教师名单从耳鼻喉科部门的学术排名和性别。结果NIH对男性的个人平均奖金（$362，946 ~$21，247）高于女性（$287，188 +/-$38，029）。研究发现，男性PI的平均NIH资助总额（对获得多个奖项的PI的赠款总和）高于女性PI（498，593美元与359，276美元）。在按学术级别和工作年限分列的组织中，男子在助理教授一级和10至20年工作经验一级的资助水平都高得多。所有NIH授予的赠款，男性有更高的比例，更负盛名的R-系列赠款（76.2%）比女性（63.4%）。结论男性教职员工有更高的NIH资金水平比他们的女同事，存在的差距，独立的职业寿命，因为它是真实的助理教授和那些有10至20年的研究经验。美国国立卫生研究院授予男性教师的R系列赠款比例较大可能有助于这一发现。尽管妇女在高级职位中所占的比例不断增加，但在百分比和资金数额方面仍然存在这种差异。
Objective To evaluate gender differences in NIH funding among faculty in otolaryngology departments and discuss potential reasons for these differences.Study Design and Setting Analysis of NIH funding data available on the online NIH RePORTER system.Methods Fiscal year 2011 and 2012 NIH funding awards to principal investigators (PIs) in otolaryngology departments were obtained and used to examine faculty listings from otolaryngology departments for academic rank and gender. The Scopus database was used to determine publication range of these faculty members.Results Individual mean NIH awards to men ($362,946 $21,247 standard error of mean) were higher than those to women ($287,188 +/- $38,029). Male PIs were found to have higher mean NIH funding totals (aggregating grants for PIs with multiple awards) than female PIs ($498,593 vs $359,276). Upon organization by academic rank and years active, men had significantly higher funding levels at both the level of assistant professor and at 10 to 20 years of experience. Of all NIH grants awarded, men had a higher percentage of the more prestigious R-series grants (76.2%) than did women (63.4%).Conclusions Male faculty members have higher NIH funding levels than their female colleagues, a disparity that exists separate from career longevity, as it is true both at the rank of assistant professor and for those with 10 to 20 years of research experience. The larger proportion of R-series NIH grants awarded to male faculty may contribute to this finding. This discrepancy in percentage and dollars of funding exists despite the increasing percentages of women in higher ranks.
