aThe dependent variable was the sum of the highest amount allocated for each project number of projects obtained as principal investigator. This included Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (S), (A), (B), or (C); Grant-in-Aid for Specially Promoted Research; and Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (S) or (A).

bP<.001.

cThese variables were quantified based on The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2023 and have 7 levels of classification, with a higher ranking having a smaller numerical value, that is, 1 for the top 100 ranking, 2 for 201 to 600, a value of 3 for 601 to 1000, a value of 4 for 1001 to 1200, a value of 5 for 1201 to 1500, a value of 6 for ≤1501, and 7 for out of ranking.

dVariables were not included in the model.

eThe total allocation earned as principal investigator during the first 10 years after obtaining a PhD.

fP<.05.

gThe Cytoscape software (version 3.4.0; Cytoscape Team) was used to calculate the value using people-to-people connections up to the third level starting from the participant based on the team member lists of all GIA projects throughout their career.

hP<.01.
