“…23 J AM ACAD DERMATOL VOLUME 60, NUMBER 1 productivity or qualifications, or differences in career objectives. 37,38 Our results, however, suggest that dermatology, a specialty for which the workforce has seen a more rapid and substantial influx of women, may be different. Female dermatologists are successfully authoring publications in numbers that match or exceed their prevalence in the academic workforce.…”

“…However, male students were found to be more confident during stressful situations than female students. Such data could reflect the pressure experienced by female students competing in what is still the male dominated culture of medicine (Willett et al 2010;Wagner et al 2007;Yedidia and Bickel 2001). Substantial evidence has been compiled indicating that gender schemas interfere with control over practice (McMurray et al 2000), roles in academic medicine (DesRoches et al 2010), and evaluations of competence (Bickel 2001).…”

Researchers are beginning to collect empiric data about coping mechanisms of health science students. Yet, there is an important aspect of coping with stress that is only partially addressed in health sciences curricula: students' spiritual well-being. In this essay, we describe a course in spirituality and health care that we offered to fourth-year medical students, as well as a small empirical study we conducted to assess students' spiritual needs and practices. We then offer reflections on the broad applicability of this work to students in the health sciences more generally, including suggestions for curriculum interventions that may ensure students' success.

“…Some previous studies of medical research have found a gender disparity in terms of the numbers of applications received from male and female PIs [24, 26, 27, 30], the amounts awarded [24, 25], and the success rate [24]. Success rate was related to seniority [24, 26, 30, 31] and qualifications [25, 32] of the applicants, which were both associated with gender [24, 25, 27, 33, 34]. However, a large meta-analysis considering gender differences in peer review of grant applications across a range of disciplines [35], and a later study [36], found no gender differences.…”

BackgroundThe literature suggests that research funding decisions may be influenced by criteria such as gender or institution of the principal investigator (PI). The aim of this study was to investigate the association between characteristics of funding applications and success when considered by a research funding board.MethodsWe selected a retrospective cohort of 296 outline applications for primary research (mainly pragmatic clinical trials) submitted to the commissioning board of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme between January 1st 2006 and December 31st 2009. We selected proposals submitted to the commissioned NIHR HTA work stream as they addressed issues which the programme already deemed to be important, hence the priority of the research question was not considered as one of the selection criteria for success or failure. Main outcome measures were success or failure at short-listing and in obtaining research funding.ResultsThe characteristics of applications associated with success at shortlisting and funding were multi-disciplinarity of the team (OR 19.94 [5.13, 77.50], P <0.0001), particularly inclusion of a statistician (OR 3.76 [2.21, 6.37], P <0.0001), and the completion of a pilot/feasibility study (OR 4.11 [1.24, 13.62], P = 0.0209). The gender of the PI was not associated with success or failure at either stage. The PI’s affiliation institution was not associated with success or failure at shortlisting.ConclusionsThe gender of the PI was not associated with success or failure. The characteristics of research applications most strongly associated with success were related to the range of expertise in the team and the completion of a pilot or feasibility study.
