NIH funding for the pediatric surgeon-scientist: An analysis of current trends
Compared to a 2013 study by King et al., the percent of funded APSA members has trended downward; however, the number of funded pediatric surgeon-scientists and dollar amount of active NIH funds has increased. Concentrated efforts are needed to support surgical trainees and junior faculty, particularly females, to pursue research and academic pediatric surgery.
