Table 2. Investigator characteristics according to centile of funding in fiscal year 1995.
Data on ethnicity are not provided due to high rates of missingness (more than one-third). Dollar values are inflation-adjusted to a FY2019 reference standard. Values shown in parentheses are percentages for categorical variables and IQR for continuous variables. IQR = inter-quartile range. ND = not displayed due to small cell size.
