Sensitivity of Differences in Full Professorship to NIH Funding Among U.S. Cardiologists with at Least One NIH Award

OR (95% CI)*
Adjusted odds of having more than one NIH award among women versus men (N=399)† 0.55 (0.2, 1.5)
Adjusted odds of full professorship from multiple NIH awards versus one award (N=399)‡ 5.38 (1.03, 28.2)

This table presents the results of sensitivity analyses of the impact of NIH funding status on the probability of full professorship among 399 academic cardiologists with at least 1 NIH grant award as of November, 2014.

*

OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval;

†

Odds ratio represents the adjusted odds of being a full professors among all female cardiologists with at least one NIH award divided by the adjusted odds of being a full professor among all men with at least one NIH award.

‡

Odds ratio represents the adjusted odds of being a full professor among all cardiologists with two or more NIH awards divided by the adjusted odds of being a full professor among all cardiologists with one NIH award. Analyses were adjusted for adjusted for age, years since residency, publications (total and first/last author), serving as principal or co-investigator on at least one clinical trial (yes/no), cardiology subspecialty practice (non-invasive, electrophysiology, or interventional cardiology), affiliation with US medical school ranked in top 20 for research in 2013 by US News & World Report,15 and total Medicare payments in 2013.
