Long-term follow-up for clinician-scientist training programs is sparse. We describe the outcomes of clinician-scientist scholars in the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) K12 program in emergency care research up to 8.7 years after matriculation in the program.
This was a cohort study of faculty clinician-scientist scholars enrolled in a NHLBI K12 research training program at 6 sites across the US, with median follow-up 7.7 years (range 5.7-8.7 years) from the date of matriculation. Scholars completed electronic surveys in 2017 and 2019, with the 2019 survey collecting information for their current work setting, percent time for research, and grant funding from all sources. We used NIH RePorter and online resources to verify federal grants through March 2021. The primary outcome was a funded career development award (CDA) or research project grant (RPG) where the scholar was principal investigator. We included funding from all federal sources and national foundations.
There were 43 scholars, including 16 (37%) women. Over the follow-up period, 32 (74%) received an individual CDA or RPG, with a median of 36 months (range 9-83 months) after entering the program. Of the 43 scholars, 23 (54%) received a CDA and 22 (51%) received an RPG, 7 (16%) of which were R01s. Of the 23 scholars who received a CDA, 13 (56%) subsequently had an RPG funded. Time to CDA or RPG did not differ by sex (women vs. men log-rank test p = 0.27) or specialty training (emergency medicine versus other specialties, p = 0.59).
After 7 years of follow-up for this NHLBI K12 emergency care research training program, three quarters of clinician-scientist scholars had obtained CDA or RPG funding, with no notable differences by sex or clinical training.
针对临床科学家培训项目的长期随访结果较为少见。我们描述了美国 6 个地点参与美国国立心肺血液研究所（NHLBI）K12 计划的临床科学家学者的研究成果，这些学者是在该项目入学后最长 8.7 年进行的。
这是一项对美国 6 个地点参与 NHLBI K12 研究培训计划的临床研究人员学者的队列研究，中位随访时间为从入学日期起 7.7 年（范围为 5.7-8.7 年）。学者们在 2017 年和 2019 年完成了电子调查，2019 年的调查收集了他们当前工作环境、研究时间百分比和所有来源的赠款资金的信息。我们使用 NIH RePorter 和在线资源来验证截至 2021 年 3 月的联邦赠款。主要结果是获得资金的职业发展奖（CDA）或研究项目赠款（RPG），学者是主要研究者。我们包括了来自所有联邦来源和国家基金会的资金。
共有 43 名学者，包括 16 名（37%）女性。在随访期间，32 名（74%）学者获得了个人 CDA 或 RPG，中位数为进入项目后 36 个月（范围为 9-83 个月）。在 43 名学者中，23 名（54%）获得了 CDA，22 名（51%）获得了 RPG，其中 7 名（16%）是 R01。在获得 CDA 的 23 名学者中，有 13 名（56%）随后获得了 RPG 资助。CDA 或 RPG 的时间在性别（女性与男性对数秩检验，p=0.27）或专业培训（急诊医学与其他专业，p=0.59）方面没有差异。
在 NHLBI K12 急诊研究培训计划的 7 年随访后，四分之三的临床科学家学者获得了 CDA 或 RPG 资助，性别或临床培训方面没有显著差异。
