Is there a relationship between NIH funding and research Impact in Academic Urology?
Abstract
Purpose
Scholarly productivity in the form of research contributions are important for appointment and promotion in academic urology. Some believe this production may require significant funding. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between NIH funding, academic rank, and research productivity, as measured by the h-index, an objective indicator of research impact upon a field.
Materials and Methods
A total of 361 faculty members from the top 20 NIH-funded academic urology departments were examined for research productivity, as measured by the h-index calculated from the Scopus database. Research productivity was compared to individual funding totals, terminal degree, and academic rank.
Results
NIH funded faculty members had statistically higher research productivity than their non-funded colleagues. Research productivity increased with increasing NIH funding. There was a poor correlation between departmental NIH funding and mean department h-index. Successive academic rank was associated with increasing research productivity, and full professors had higher NIH funding awards than their junior NIH-funded colleagues.
Conclusions
There is an association between h-index, NIH funding, and academic rank. The h-index is a reliable method for assessing the impact of scholarly contributions towards the discourse within academic urology, and may be used as an adjunct in the evaluation of scholarly productivity of academic urologists.
