For remaining in an academic career, the publication variable was dropped due to co-linearity.

Analysis done on a per awardee basis for first award only.

OR is per $1,000 dollar increments.

#

OR is per 10 rank increments.

**

OR is per one year increments.

††

OR is per one unit of impact factor increments.
