The Ruth Jackson Orthopaedic Society awards the Jacquelin Perry, MD Resident Research Grant and RJOS/Zimmer Biomet Clinical/Basic Science Research Grant to female orthopedic surgeons, intending to aid women in the progression and completion of their orthopedic research and bolster their pursuit or current career in academic orthopedic surgery. The impact of these grants has not yet been studied. The purpose of this study is to determine the percentage of scholarship/grant-winners who went on to publish the findings of their research, pursue academic positions, and currently hold positions of leadership in the field of orthopedic surgery.
The titles of the winning research projects were searched in PubMed, Embase, and/or Web of Science to ascertain publication status. For each award recipient, the number of publications prior to the award year, number of publications after the award year, total number of publications, and H-index were calculated. Each award recipient was searched online through the websites of their employment and social media pages to determine their residency institution, whether they pursued a fellowship, the number of fellowships they pursued, their subspecialty within orthopedics, their current job, and whether they are in academic or private practice.
Of the fifteen Jacquelin Perry, MD Resident Research Grant winners, 73.3% of awarded research projects have since been published. 76.9% of award winners currently work in an academic setting and are affiliated with a residency program, and 0% currently hold leadership positions in orthopedic surgery. Of the eight winners of the RJOS/Zimmer Biomet Clinical/Basic Science Research Grant, 25% have published the findings of their awarded grant. 87.5% of award winners currently work in academics, and 75% hold leadership positions in orthopedic surgery.
Our results show that many of the winners of the Jacquelin Perry, MD Resident Research Grant and RJOS/Zimmer Biomet Clinical/ Basic Science Research Grant have published their research findings, continued research within the field of orthopedic surgery, and pursued academic careers and leadership positions. Many of the barriers to career progression and entry into orthopedic surgery that women and underrepresented groups face could be overcome through more grant opportunities and mentorship. .
Ruth Jackson 骨科协会向女性骨科医生颁发 Jacquelin Perry,MD 研究员研究基金和 RJOS/Zimmer Biomet 临床/基础科学研究基金,旨在帮助女性推进和完成骨科研究,并支持她们在学术骨科领域追求或当前的职业。这些资助的影响尚未得到研究。本研究的目的是确定获得奖学金/资助的女性中有多少人继续发表其研究结果,从事学术职位,并在骨科领域担任领导职位。
在 PubMed、Embase 和/或 Web of Science 中搜索获奖研究项目的标题,以确定发表情况。对于每位获奖者,计算获奖前的出版物数量、获奖后的出版物数量、总出版物数量和 H 指数。通过他们的就业网站和社交媒体页面在线搜索每位获奖者,以确定他们的住院医师机构、是否从事过奖学金、从事的奖学金数量、骨科的专业领域、当前工作以及是否从事学术或私人实践。
在 15 名 Jacquelin Perry,MD 研究员研究基金获奖者中,73.3%的获奖研究项目已发表。76.9%的获奖者目前在学术环境中工作,并与住院医师计划有关联,并且 0%目前在骨科领域担任领导职务。在 8 名 RJOS/Zimmer Biomet 临床/基础科学研究基金获奖者中,25%的人发表了他们获奖的研究结果。87.5%的获奖者目前在学术界工作,并且 75%的人在骨科领域担任领导职务。
我们的结果表明,许多 Jacquelin Perry,MD 研究员研究基金和 RJOS/Zimmer Biomet 临床/基础科学研究基金的获奖者已经发表了他们的研究结果,继续在骨科领域进行研究,并从事学术职业和领导职位。女性和代表性不足的群体在职业发展和进入骨科领域方面面临的许多障碍可以通过更多的资助机会和指导来克服。
