^aMean publication rates ± SD are given for FIRST fellows and current T32 fellows at Emory and current and former T32 fellows at institutions with long-established IRACDA programs (Emory, UNC, Penn, Tufts, and University of Arizona). Only publications from within fellows’ postdoctoral training time and only from fellows with between 6 and 60 months of training are included.

^bW/As, whites/Asians; URM, underrepresented minority.

^cValues marked with a superscript “H” are significantly less than FIRST publication rates.

^dNumber of fellows with more than 6 months and less than 60 months as a postdoctoral fellow. Total current census as of July 1, 2016, is 177.

^e“IRACDA T32 Fellows” refers to T32 postdoctoral fellows who are at select institutions that also happen to have IRACDA programs, of which FIRST is one.
