We test whether there are gender differences in the outcomes of NIH peer review for independent investigator grants. We survey all funded NIH grants and map up the process to award by gender. Using similar readability scoring as Hengel (2017), we examine potential gender differences in funding and resubmission. We model how many additional grants and funding women researchers could have received in the absence of observed differences and evaluate the long-term effects on a researcher’s career measured by subsequent grant funding, publications, and tenure.
