Abstract
- Herein, we investigated the extent of gender disparity among dermatologists awarded Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) grants. Https://doi.org/10.1093/bjd/ljad192 DearEditor, Grant-awarding organizations are uniquely positioned to confer funding that is associated with improved research quality and career advancement of the recipient.[1] Unfortunately, evidence suggests that disproportionate amounts of research funding are awarded to males compared with females, furthering gender disparities in academic research.[2] Between 2015 and 2019, although American females comprised 51% of full-time dermatology faculty, they accounted for only 39.1% of total funding, receiving $121.3 million less than male colleagues.[2] Whether a similar trend occurs in the Canadian context remains unknown.
