ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the impact of institutional transitions on the progression of surgeon-scientists from National Institute of Health (NIH) career development K grants to independent research R grants.

Summary background data

It is unknown whether institutional transitions of surgeon-scientists impacts the likelihood of subsequent independent NIH research funding.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study utilizing NIH RePORTER data was conducted to evaluate surgeon-scientists who obtained K grants (K08/K23) between 2000 and 2019 and subsequent R grants (R01/R21/R35) between 2000 and 2023. Sponsoring institutions were categorized as low-, mid-, or upper-tertile based on NIH funding rankings. The association between institutional transitions and other individual and inst
