“…Second, although we have a few proxies, we are unable to measure the exact seniority such as the academic rank, which is an important variable in determining research outputs. Prior research has warned of the potential artifacts which may arise from comparing senior men researchers with junior women researchers (Lerchenmueller & Sorenson, 2017). Third, while we found that grant cost is not a mediating variable, there may be other important mediating variables between gender and research outputs which were not readily captured by this study.…”

“…The fact that there is less women PI representation in the more productive fields highlights the need to fix the "broken pipeline" which places woman researchers at a persistent disadvantage position to advance their careers. The present study is not alone in identifying this issue: in one recent analysis of career transitions using F32 and R01 grants data, Lerchenmueller and Sorenson (2017) found that women researchers became PIs at a 20% lower rate than men researchers. The results also highlighted the need to conduct more granular research evaluations as generic evaluations can omit field-level differences.…”

This study examines the relationship between team's gender composition and outputs of funded projects using a large data set of National Institutes of Health (NIH) R01 grants and their associated publications between 1990 and 2017. This study finds that while the women investigators' presence in NIH grants is generally low, higher women investigator presence is on average related to slightly lower number of publications. This study finds empirically that women investigators elect to work in fields in which fewer publications per million-dollar funding is the norm. For fields where women investigators are relatively well represented, they are as productive as men. The overall lower productivity of women investigators may be attributed to the low representation of women in high productivity fields dominated by men investigators. The findings shed light on possible reasons for gender disparity in grant productivity.

Examining Gendered Expectations in Christian Leadership and the Gender Punishment Gap

Female religious leaders often face more obstacles in their occupation than male religious leaders, yet research on the gender double standard has yet to be examined in the field of religious leadership. The current study explored the gender double standard in religious leadership by examining perceptions of male and female religious leaders and whether leaders will face similar consequences post-transgression. Christian participants were asked to read fictional vignettes: first a brief description of a male or female religious leader and then a fictitious news article describing the leader committing a transgression (financial or personal). Through questionnaires, participants evaluated the leader and indicated their intentions to attend the leader’s church before and after being exposed to the transgression. Participants then rated the sinfulness of the transgression and if the leader should be punished. Additionally, participants completed measures of intrinsic/extrinsic religious orientation, quest orientation, and post-critical beliefs. Regression analyses revealed no significant differences in evaluations of leaders based on gender alone. However, religious characteristics like intrinsic religiosity and a literal interpretation of religious content did predict greater intentions of church attendance for the male leader compared to the female leader pre-transgression. Additionally, regardless of the leader’s gender, the financial transgression was rated more negatively than the personal transgression. The findings of this study can be used to help bridge the gap between attendance of male and female-led churches by focusing on certain beliefs that lead to this gender bias.
