Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) grant impact on recipient academic career

摘要

IntroductionSurgical societies, including SAGES, distribute grant funds to support research, as well as to promote recipient careers. Although we hypothesize that these awards have a positive impact, no objective evidence exists. We sought to benchmark the scientific productivity of the grants, the academic success of the recipients, and the generation of further research projects.
