Barriers to Review Participation: Anonymized Survey Results

Funding disparities currently exist across racial groups of grant applicants and between Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Traditionally White Institutions (TWIs), with grant review serving as a likely source of these differences. A survey examining grant review participation was disseminated to thousands of scientists and responses from MSI and TWI scientists were compared. Participation levels were found to differ significantly among these groups, but interest in peer review remained high. These data represent the anonymized results of the quantitative sections of the survey.

当前，资助差距普遍存在于不同种族的基金申请者群体之间，以及少数族裔服务机构（Minority Serving Institutions, MSIs）与传统白人院校（Traditionally White Institutions, TWIs）之间，而基金评审过程可能是造成这类差距的诱因之一。本研究针对基金评审参与情况开展了一项调研，向数千名科研人员发放了问卷，并对来自少数族裔服务机构和传统白人院校的科研人员的问卷回复进行了对比分析。分析结果显示，不同群体的评审参与率存在显著差异，但科研人员对同行评审的参与热情仍维持在较高水平。本数据集即该调研中量化部分的匿名化结果。
