在许多国家，竞争性基金作为学术研究资金来源的作用有所增强。对研究人员个人而言，获得补助金会影响科学成果和职业道路。本文重点研究的重要性，研究人员的学术职业道路，利用混合方法，计量经济学分析与深入的定性访谈相结合的接收研究补助金。该分析在其主题（赠款对个人学术职业道路的影响）和方法方面都有新颖的元素。本研究的结果表明，虽然研究赠款有一个积极的影响，根据补助金本身进行的研究，有非常重要的二次影响，通过对学术生涯的进步的积极影响，对研究绩效。获得奖学金的申请者获得全职教授职位的概率几乎是被拒绝申请者的两倍，16%比9%。一般来说，获得补助金的人职业发展的可能性要高出约9个百分点。定性访谈支持这些定量结果，通过提高地位，认可，网络和其他因素，提供赠款如何影响研究生涯的见解。
The role of competitive funds as a source of funding for academic research has increased in many countries. For the individual researcher, the receipt of a grant can influence both scientific production and career paths. This paper focuses on the importance of the receipt of a research grant for researchers' academic career paths utilizing a mixed methods approach that combines econometric analysis with in-depth qualitative interviews. The analysis has novel elements both in terms of its subject (impact of funding grants on individuals' academic career paths) and approach. The results of this study indicate that while research grants have a positive impact on the research performed under the grant itself, there are very important secondary effects on research performance through positive effects on academic career advancement. The probability of obtaining a full professorship for grant recipients is almost double that for rejected applicants, 16 percent compared to 9 percent. The probability for career advancement in general is about 9 percentage points higher for grant recipients. Qualitative interviews support these quantitative results by providing insights into how grants impact research careers, through heightened status, recognition, networking and other factors.
