^†NIH funding status was assessed for CDA recipients prior to 2019 (n=65), NIH funding total for those who received funding (n=26), and h-index for the cohort as a whole (n=70).

^‡Three recipients were not in academic practice, thus not included in the analysis by academic rank: NIH funding status, n=62; NIH funding total, n=24; h-index, n=67.

^*Significant difference, p<0.05.
