The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the largest science funding agency in the world. Discoveries linked to NIH funding have contributed to the health and longevity of the population in the United States. NIH funding is also essential for academic careers in biomedical research fields. Several researchers have documented race and ethnicity differences in the likelihood of receiving NIH funding. However, a full account of the career challenges facing scientists from historically underrepresented groups has been hampered by a lack of access to data on science faculty linked to their publications and grants. This study will construct a dataset that identifies the race, gender, academic field, academic rank, publications, citations and grants of individual scientists by linking data on over 2 million individual faculty from Academic Analytics for the years 2009-2023, the National Science Foundation’s Survey of Earned Doctorates, NIH Reporter, the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), and web searches. These data will be used to examine race/ethnicity differences in the career paths of scientists at research-intensive universities. This study will have five specific aims. Aim 1 of this study will create the Demographic Academic Careers (DAC) data set that will be housed in a data enclave at National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) so that the research community can make use of this rich data to understand academic careers as well as other Science of Science Research questions. Aim 2 will document the race/ethnicity distribution of faculty at 427 research-intensive universities and medical schools across the United States and their impact on students of color. Although many researchers have examined the demographic makeup faculty of medical schools, and aggregate statistics have been reported, less attention has been given to the demographics of faculty at research institutions that train undergraduates who will become future scientists. This aim will examine whether institutions with more faculty of color produce more undergraduate and graduate students of color. Aim 3 will examine race/ethnicity differences in promotion to associate and full professor as well as the potential double-bind of gender and race/ethnicity. Research funding is considered essential for academic promotion in biomedical sciences. This study will examine whether the race/ethnicity NIH funding gaps contribute to similar academic promotion gaps. Aim 4 will examine race/ethnicity differences in the age of research independence and funding longevity. Although researchers have examined these topics in the aggregate or for women the same has not been done by race/ethnicity. The longitudinal data developed in Aim 1 is ideal for this kind of study. Aim 5 will examine gender and race/ethnicity differences in NIH R01 renewals (Type 2) awards. Researchers have documented that women and faculty of color are less likely to receive Type 2 and renewals. This project will determine whether publications, citations, prior funding, and institutional affiliations explain these differences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）是世界上最大的科学资助机构。 与NIH资助有关的发现有助于美国人口的健康和长寿。 NIH的资助对于生物医学研究领域的学术生涯也至关重要。 一些研究人员已经记录了种族和民族在获得NIH资助的可能性方面的差异。 然而，由于无法获得与科学教师的出版物和赠款有关的数据，因此无法全面了解历史上代表性不足的群体的科学家所面临的职业挑战。 这项研究将构建一个数据集，通过链接2009-2023年学术分析中超过200万名教师的数据，识别种族，性别，学术领域，学术排名，出版物，引用和赠款单个科学家，国家科学基金会的博士学位调查，NIH Reporter，综合中学后教育数据系统（IPEDS）和网络搜索。 这些数据将用于研究研究密集型大学科学家职业道路上的种族/民族差异。 这项研究将有五个具体目标。 本研究的目标1将创建人口学学术职业（DAC）数据集，该数据集将被放置在国家科学与工程统计中心（NCSES）的数据飞地中，以便研究界可以利用这些丰富的数据来了解学术职业以及其他科学研究问题。 目标2将记录美国427所研究型大学和医学院教师的种族/民族分布及其对有色人种学生的影响。 虽然许多研究人员已经研究了医学院的人口构成，并报告了总体统计数据，但很少关注培养未来科学家的本科生的研究机构的教师人口统计数据。 这一目标将研究是否有更多的色彩学院的机构产生更多的本科生和研究生的颜色。 目标3将研究种族/民族差异，促进副教授和正教授，以及潜在的双重约束的性别和种族/民族。 研究经费被认为是促进生物医学科学学术发展的关键。 本研究将探讨是否种族/民族NIH的资金缺口有助于类似的学术推广差距。 目标4将审查研究独立年龄和资助寿命方面的种族/民族差异。 虽然研究人员对这些主题进行了总体研究或对妇女进行了研究，但没有按种族/族裔进行同样的研究。 在目标1中开发的纵向数据是这类研究的理想选择。 目标5将检查NIH R 01更新（类型2）奖励中的性别和种族/民族差异。 研究人员已经证明，女性和有色人种教师不太可能获得2型和更新。 这个项目将决定是否出版物，引用，以前的资金，和机构的联系解释这些差异。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
