Downstream funding success of early career researchers for resubmitted versus new applications: A matched cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early career researchers face a hypercompetitive funding environment. To help identify effective intervention strategies for early career researchers, we examined whether first-time NIH R01 applicants who resubmitted their original, unfunded R01 application were more successful at obtaining any R01 funding within 3 and 5 years than original, unfunded applicants who submitted new NIH applications, and we examined whether underrepresented minority (URM) applicants differentially benefited from resubmission. Our observational study is consistent with an NIH working group's recommendations to develop interventions to encourage resubmission.

Methods and findings

First-time applicants with US medical school academic faculty appointments who submitted an unfunded R01 app
