How grants impact careers - Sweden 1981-2020

Data from Swedish research councils - funding agencies - on grant applications and grants, data on scholarly performance (bibliometrics), and data on career (professor competence achieved) for 2,727 Ph.D. in medical and natural science that published a dissertation between 1985 and 1994. We follow their career until 2020. In a first analysis, we evaluate potential gender disparities in grant allocation using large-scale application data based on project registers held by Swedish funding agencies. The results of this analysis feed into the subsequent analysis – time to a professorship – where we study the indirect impact of the grant allocation on the promotion to a professor.

本数据集包含瑞典研究理事会（即资助机构）的三类数据：1985年至1994年间完成医学与自然科学领域博士学位论文的2727名博士生的资助申请与获批资助数据、学术表现数据（文献计量学（bibliometrics）），以及职业发展相关数据（即已取得的教授任职资格情况）。我们对这些博士生的职业轨迹追踪至2020年。在首轮分析中，我们依托瑞典资助机构所持有的项目登记库中的大规模资助申请数据，评估资助分配环节中可能存在的性别差异。该分析的结果将作为后续分析——即教授任职周期分析——的输入，用于探究资助分配对晋升教授职称的间接影响。
