“…11 Another study by Svider et al reported that men had higher mean NIH awards and total funding than their women counterparts in ophthalmology. 12 Recent studies have assessed the gender disparity among award recipients in societies, such as anesthesiology, 13 dermatology, 14 neurology, 15 otolaryngology, 16 orthopaedic surgery, 17 physiatry, 18 radiology, 19 urology, 10 and 20 other surgical specialty societies. 20 While some medical societies are more gender-balanced than others in their award distribution, they all highlight the necessity for greater efforts to achieve equal women representation.…”

“…Advised actions such as promoting mentorship and removing bias can make it more fair for women to be represented equally compared to men. 19,21 This is the first study to assess the gender distribution of major ophthalmology and subspecialty societies over the past 50 years. We examine gender differences while accounting for award society and year, and further investigate other variables at the award and award recipient level that may have an effect on the gender disparities in award recipients.…”

“…Other authors have noted that "low stakes" awards tend to be more equitable, but more prestigious awards tend to go to men across scientific and medical societies. [12][13][14] We were not able to assess why so few women have been recognized in some categories. Without the ability to show the gender composition of society membership through the time period of award history, we cannot assess relative representation for awards whose inception date occurred before the time period for which we had membership or conference attendee data.…”

Introduction-Despite near gender parity for women entering medical careers, women remain underrepresented in medical societies. This study evaluated the gender distribution associated with Wilderness Medical Society (WMS) activities.Methods-A retrospective review was performed on the gender breakdown of the following WMS members: a single-day 2020 snapshot, conference attendees 2012 through 2020, conference presenters from winter 2017 through winter 2021, and leadership and awards data from 1984 through 2021. Genderize.io was used to generate probability-based gender categorizations (male/female) based on first names or pronoun associations.Results-Gender was assigned in 91% (4043/4461) of 2020 WMS members, 92% (6179/6720) of 2012-2020 conference attendees, and 100% of remaining categories. Women represented 28% (1143/ 4043) of members, 27% (1679/6179) of conference attendees, 31% (143/465) of all conference presenters, 20% (62/303) of mainstage presenters, 23% (17/75) of all board members, 38% (14/37) of committee chairs, and 10% (2/20) of board presidents. Women received 18% (42/228) of recognition awards and 31% (15/48) of research grants issued.Conclusions-Although women comprise a minority of WMS participants, gender distribution was similar across categories for membership, conference presenters, total board positions, and research grant awards. Relative underrepresentation was seen in the highest leadership levels, in recognition awards, and in mainstage presenters. Ongoing auditing may help to identify and address sources of bias and/or barriers to participation. Although it is only one of many components of equity, identifying successes and future opportunities for gender balance can strengthen the base of the WMS, promote growth, and ensure a strong leadership pipeline.

“…Among major radiological societies, studies have shown there remains a significant underrepresentation of women in leadership awards and an overrepresentation of women in teaching awards in comparison to their overall presence in the discipline [ 29 ]. This may reflect biases in the award selection and evaluation process that does not mitigate gendered stereotypes and acknowledge longstanding systematic biases and privileges in academic medicine.…”

The purpose of our study was to evaluate National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding recipients between 2016 and 2019 to determine if there was an association between gender, research productivity, academic rank, leadership positions, and post-graduate awards. Materials and MethodsThe NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools Expenditure and Results (RePORTER) website was used to retrieve data for grants in Radiation Oncology from 2016-2019. Demographics and profiles of awardees were retrieved from institutional websites, LinkedIn, and Doximity. Publication metrics were collected through the Scopus database. Mann-Whitney U tests and chi-square analyses were performed to compare and determine associations between gender and other variables. ResultsThree hundred and forty radiation oncology principal investigators (PIs) were included in this study, of whom 76% were men. Of the 776 total NIH grants awarded, 62% of the grants had a sole male PI and 1% had two or more PIs in which the contact PI and co-PI were women. Between the genders of PIs in this sample, there was no significant difference in highest academic rank, leadership positions (i.e., chair, director, founder, president, and other), and post-graduate honors and awards. Total publications, years of active research, h-index, and m-index were higher amongst men in the professor category but were largely similar between genders in the associate and assistant professor categories. ConclusionsThe results demonstrate that most NIH grants in radiation oncology were awarded to men. Strategies that increase women in radiation oncology (RO), as well as those that increase NIH grants amongst women may also increase the prevalence of women in senior academic ranks and leadership positions.
