AAES grants per member. The total number of grants in each time period is shown. The number of grants per member did not show a significant decrease between the two time periods (P = 0.12 for all research and 0.07 for endocrine surgery research), and the average number of grants per funded member did not decrease for all research or endocrine surgery research (P = 0.99 and 0.95, respectively). Data points are mean±standard error of mean.
