Prevalence of faculty mentoring programs in anesthesiology and medical schools in the US and their association with federal research funding
Authors' conclusion
Our findings suggest an association between the presence of faculty mentoring programs and faculty development support with departmental NIH funding, with the amount of funding associated primarily with department-specific mentoring and faculty development initiatives.
