R01s in Neurosurgery: Characterizing the Current Landscape of NIH Funding for Neurosurgeon-Scientists

Only a small subset of practicing neurosurgeons currently hold R01 funding. Training, rather than practicing, in high-research-output environments appears to be more predictive of NIH R01 funding success among neurosurgeons.

Abstract

Only a small subset of practicing neurosurgeons currently hold R01 funding. Training, rather than practicing, in high-research-output environments appears to be more predictive of NIH R01 funding success among neurosurgeons.
