本文衡量了外部研发资金对生命科学、数学与物理科学、工程学、社会科学与心理学等学科研究生的职业轨迹和研究生产力的影响。我们通过研究研究生的培养方案来促进对科学生产的理解。我们利用3,678名获奖者和美国国家科学基金会荣誉提名之间的差异？的研究生研究奖学金计划。我们发现一致的证据表明，该奖项提高了学位完成率，博士后或学术研究职位的安置，研究生产力和影响力以及网络规模。我们进一步探讨了研究生导师在这个培训过程中的作用，并发现该奖项并没有破坏学徒模式，而是增加了学生？与他们的顾问互动。
This paper measures the impact of external R&D funding on the career trajectory and research productivity of graduate students across the divisions of life sciences, math & physical sciences, engineering, and social sciences & psychology. We contribute to the understanding of the production of science by examining the training regimen for graduate students. We exploit variation between 3,678 awardees and honorable mentions of the U.S. National Science Foundation?s Graduate Research Fellowship Program. We find consistent evidence that the award increases degree completion, placement in a post-doctoral or academic research position, research productivity and impact, and network size. We further explore the role of the graduate advisor in this training process and find the award does not disrupt the apprenticeship model, but instead, increases the student?s interaction with their advisor.
