a

The faculty in the CFSP cohort (n = 25) entered the CFSP in the 2004–2009 program cohorts; the early-career faculty in the comparison cohort were matched 5:1 to CFSP faculty based on time in rank using date of hire/appointment and pre-period grant awards. Analyses of grant outcomes used data observable in the CU-Anschutz central administrative system, with grant proposal and grant award dates from January 1, 2000, through September 23, 2011, for grants on which the faculty served as principal investigator. For descriptions of the pre- and post-periods, cohort matching process, and data sources, see the Method section and Figure 1.

b

Wilcoxon test non-parametric tests or Chi-square tests over time (between period, within cohort)

c

Wilcoxon test non-parametric tests or Chi-Square tests between cohorts (within period or delta)

d
