尽管生命科学研究生课程的入学人数是平等的，但在后期职业成果方面，性别差距仍然存在。为了了解这种差异，我们研究了研究生培训，并利用竞争性的 NSF 研究生研究奖学金计划来确定获奖者和荣誉奖的高质量生命科学学生。我们使用差异研究设计来估计不同性别的研发奖在发表轨迹上的相对差异。三重差异估计的结果显示，与男性相比，该奖项对女性产生了负面影响。我们通过研究性别趋势来调查这种效应的驱动因素，并发现该奖项对男性有巨大的积极影响，但未能为女性获奖者找到这样的证据。我们的结果表明，尽管资金是精英管理的，但不同性别的信号效应不同。
Despite equal matriculation into life science graduate programs, the gender gap persists for later-stage professional outcomes. To understand this divergence, we examine graduate training and use the competitive NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program to identify high-quality life science students that are awardees and honorable mentions. We use a differencing research design to estimate the relative difference of the R&D award across gender on publication trajectory. The results of the triple difference estimation show a negative effect for women compared to men from the award. We investigate the driver of this effect by examining trends within gender and find a large, positive effect of the award for men but fail to find such evidence for female awardees. Our results indicate different signaling effects across gender even though the funding is meritocratic.
