To review the effectiveness of the Research Grants, Career Scientist Award and Fellowship Program (RGCSFP) of the Canadian Anesthesiologists' Society (CAS)/Canadian Anesthesia Research Foundation (CARF) by surveying past recipients.
The CAS Research Committee database of past RGCSFP recipients was reviewed to identify all past award recipients from the time of program inception in 1985 until the year 2005. A questionnaire was mailed to all past recipients with retrievable addresses. The questionnaire asked specific questions regarding past and current research, publications, grant procurement and mentoring of trainees. In addition, opinions regarding the program's effectiveness were solicited.
Of the 100 mailed survey forms, 66 (66%) were completed and returned. The number of original published articles per respondent was 30.1 +/- 28.5 (mean +/- SD) at the time of the survey, and the life-time number of all publication types was 38.5 +/- 34.6. Cumulative research funding increased in relation to the number of years in research, and amongst past recipients with > 15 years in research, individual research funding from all sources was $585,747 +/- $773,716. Ninety-six percent of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the program was valuable.
The RGCSFP has supported a large number of new and established anesthesia investigators in Canada, and these individuals have demonstrated high research productivity. The program is considered to be very valuable according to past recipients.
通过对以往获奖者进行调查，评估加拿大麻醉医师协会（CAS）/加拿大麻醉研究基金会（CARF）的研究基金、职业科学家奖和奖学金计划（RGCSFP）的有效性。
查阅CAS研究委员会关于RGCSFP以往获奖者的数据库，以确定从1985年项目启动至2005年期间的所有获奖者。向所有有可检索地址的以往获奖者邮寄了一份调查问卷。该问卷询问了有关以往和当前研究、出版物、资助获取及学员指导的具体问题。此外，还征求了对该计划有效性的意见。
在邮寄的100份调查问卷中，66份（66%）被填写并返回。在调查时，每位受访者发表的原始文章数量为30.1±28.5（平均值±标准差），所有出版物类型的终身数量为38.5±34.6。累积研究资金随着研究年限的增加而增加，在研究年限超过15年的以往获奖者中，来自所有来源的个人研究资金为585,747加元±773,716加元。96%的受访者同意或强烈同意该计划很有价值。
RGCSFP为加拿大大量新的和已有的麻醉研究人员提供了支持，这些人员展现出了很高的研究生产力。根据以往获奖者的反馈，该计划被认为非常有价值。
