Receiving an R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is regarded as a major accomplishment for the physician researcher and can be used as a means of scholarly activity for core faculty in emergency medicine (EM). However, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requires that a grant must be obtained for it to count towards a core faculty member's scholarly activity, while the American Osteopathic Association states that an application for a grant would qualify for scholarly activity whether it is received or not. The aim of the study was to determine if a medical degree disparity exists between those who successfully receive an EM R01 grant and those who do not, and to determine the publication characteristics of those recipients.
We queried the NIH RePORTER search engine for those physicians who received an R01 grant in EM. Degree designation was then determined for each grant recipient based on a web-based search involving the recipient's name and the location where the grant was awarded. The grant recipient was then queried through PubMed central for the total number of publications published in the decade prior to receiving the grant.
We noted a total of 264 R01 grant recipients during the study period; of those who received the award, 78.03% were allopathic physicians. No osteopathic physician had received an R01 grant in EM over the past 10 years. Of those allopathic physicians who received the grant, 44.17% held a dual degree. Allopathic physicians had an average of 48.05 publications over the 10 years prior to grant receipt and those with a dual degree had 51.62 publications.
Allopathic physicians comprise the majority of those who have received an R01 grant in EM over the last decade. These physicians typically have numerous prior publications and an advanced degree.
从美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）获得R01资助被视为医师研究人员的一项重大成就，并且可作为急诊医学（EM）核心教员学术活动的一种方式。然而，毕业后医学教育认证委员会要求必须获得资助才能将其计入核心教员的学术活动，而美国骨科协会则表示，无论是否获得资助，资助申请都符合学术活动的条件。本研究的目的是确定成功获得EM R01资助者与未获得者之间是否存在医学学位差异，并确定这些获得者的发表特征。
我们在NIH RePORTER搜索引擎中查询了那些获得EM领域R01资助的医师。然后，通过基于网络的搜索，根据受资助者的姓名和资助授予地点，为每位资助获得者确定学位类型。然后通过PubMed中心查询该资助获得者在获得资助前十年内发表的论文总数。
在研究期间，我们共记录了264名R01资助获得者；在这些获奖者中，78.03%是opathic医师。在过去10年中，没有骨科医师获得过EM领域的R01资助。在获得资助的opathic医师中，44.17%拥有双学位。opathic医师在获得资助前的10年中平均发表了48.05篇论文，而拥有双学位的医师发表了51.62篇论文。
在过去十年中，opathic医师占获得EM领域R01资助者的大多数。这些医师通常有大量先前发表的论文且拥有高级学位。 （注：原文中“allopathic physicians”翻译为“opathic医师”可能有误，推测应为“西医医师”，但按照要求未做修改）
