Gender disparities in NIH radiology grant funding: A 15-year analysis

Key Points

Ongoing gender disparities in radiology funding hinder innovation and limit perspectives in research.
Women’s representation in radiology grants has seen incremental progress, but disparities remain significant.
Data analysis over 15 years indicates that funding inequities may impact the quality of patient care.
Implementing evidence-informed strategies could promote diversity and improve grant allocation processes.

Abstract

Despite incremental progress in women's representation, these findings underscore ongoing gender disparities in radiology funding. This imbalance may hinder innovation and limit the range of perspectives driving future research. Evidence-informed strategies may help address inequities, promote diversity and innovation, and ensure equitable, high-quality patient care.
