我们利用美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）IMPAC II资助数据库、汤森路透科学网以及其他来源的数据，研究了NIH R01申请人自我认定的种族或族裔与获得资助的概率之间的关联。尽管无论种族如何，优先级得分高的申请获得资助的可能性相同，但我们发现，与白人相比，亚洲人获得NIH研究者发起的研究资助的可能性低4个百分点，黑人或非裔美国人申请者低13个百分点。在对申请人的教育背景、原籍国、培训经历、以往研究奖项、发表记录以及雇主特征进行控制后，我们发现黑人或非裔美国人申请者获得NIH研究资助的可能性仍比白人低10个百分点。我们的研究结果为政策干预提供了一些着力点。
We investigated the association between a U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) R01 applicant’s self-identified race or ethnicity and the probability of receiving an award by using data from the NIH IMPAC II grant database, the Thomson Reuters Web of Science, and other sources. Although proposals with strong priority scores were equally likely to be funded regardless of race, we find that Asians are 4 percentage points and black or African-American applicants are 13 percentage points less likely to receive NIH investigator-initiated research funding compared with whites. After controlling for the applicant’s educational background, country of origin, training, previous research awards, publication record, and employer characteristics, we find that black or African-American applicants remain 10 percentage points less likely than whites to be awarded NIH research funding. Our results suggest some leverage points for policy intervention.
