This analysis examines variations in funding acquisition strategies by individual behaviors across fields and career stages, indicating significant contributing factors.
Key Points
The study aims to clarify how individual research-related behaviors influence funding acquisition across different academic fields and career stages.
Utilized data from Japan's Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research program, classifying 1152 professors by funding acquisition patterns.
Collected behavioral characteristics from publication records and administrative data of 804 researchers.
Conducted univariate and multivariate regression analyses to identify funding acquisition factors.
High-funding recipients were primarily in basic and internal medicine.
Early-career publication success and midcareer senior authorship significantly associated with funding acquisition, with specific odds ratios (basic medicine: OR 1.48, internal medicine: OR 1.34).
Adjusted R² values indicated strong model fit for fields like surgery (0.576), social medicine (0.890), and dentistry (0.738).
