“…We have previously described the CRTI program in depth. 4 In brief, CRTI is a 1-year mentored experience that begins with a week-long summer workshop held in August. To be eligible for the program, applicants must be a senior fellow or junior faculty member with an intended career in patient-oriented hematology research.…”

“…We found a gender disparity among 115 CRTI alumni who participated from 2005 to 2012. 4 When compared with men, women respondents had fewer median published research articles in the past year (2 vs 3; P 5 .009) and a lower median percent effort in research (40% vs 50%; P 5 .0029). This finding has led to focused efforts toward highlighting female role models and discussing gender issues at CRTI.…”

We previously identified gender disparities in academic success during evaluation of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Clinical Research Training Institute (CRTI) and hypothesized that it may be related to caregiving. The objective was to evaluate the impact of gender and caregiving responsibilities on academic success. A cross-sectional survey that included a question about caregiving responsibilities was distributed to alumni who participated in CRTI from 2003 to 2016 and asked about academic productivity in the previous 3 years. Publications and grants were abstracted from submitted curriculum vitae. Academic success was defined as number of first- or senior-author publications, total publications, grants, and percent effort in research. Of 280 potential respondents, 258 responded (92% response rate), 169 (66%) had caregiving responsibilities, and 110 (43%) were men. Respondents with caregiving responsibilities had fewer first- or senior-author publications (median, 3 vs 5; P = .003) and less percent effort in research (median, 40% vs 50%; P = .006). Men had more first- or senior-author publications (median, 4 vs 3; P = .002) and more total publications (median, 12 vs 6.5; P = .0002) than women. When stratified by those without (P = .0001) or with (P = .042) caregiving responsibilities, men had more publications than women. Among men, caregiving responsibilities significantly reduced all outcomes. However, among women, caregiving did not have an impact. In conclusion, men had more publications than women whether or not they had caregiving responsibilities. However, among men, caregiving reduced academic productivity whereas among women, caregiving did not have impact. The scientific community will need to continue to identify the reasons for disparities and implement changes to address them.

“…For example, in 2016, we identified a gender disparity among CRTI alumni, with men having more published research articles and greater percent effort in research. 3 In a follow-up evaluation, we found that the gender disparity persisted and was not explained by caregiving responsibilities. 4 Demographic characteristics such as gender, race, and ethnicity are variables previously associated with academic success.…”

“…The CRTI program has previously been described in depth. 3 To summarize, CRTI is a 1-year mentored clinical research training program. Participants must be senior fellows or junior faculty within the first 3 years of their first appointment and must intend to pursue a career that includes patient-oriented hematology research.…”

The American Society of Hematology Clinical Research Training Institute (CRTI) is a mentored training program for hematology fellows and junior faculty. Our objective was to determine whether the self-reported impact of CRTI on research retention, career development, and connectedness to hematology investigators was associated with academic success. A survey was distributed in January 2020 to alumni who participated in the program from 2003 to 2019. It focused on the impact of CRTI on retention in research, facilitation of career development, understanding of requirements to succeed, and feelings of connectedness to investigators. These questions were scored on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Outcomes were grants, publications, and invited lectures; these were abstracted from a submitted curriculum vitae. Of 334 eligible alumni, 321 responded (response rate of 96.1%). Of these, 250 (77.9%) agreed that CRTI was instrumental to research retention, 268 (83.5%) agreed that CRTI facilitated career development, 296 (92.2%) agreed that CRTI allowed a better understanding of requirements to succeed in research, and 289 (90.0%) agreed that CRTI increased connectedness to hematology investigators. Those who agreed with these CRTI impacts had significantly more first-author publications. Those who agreed that CRTI was instrumental to retention, facilitated career development, and increased connectedness had significantly more protected time for research. Self-reported perception that CRTI had an impact on research retention, career development, and connectedness to hematology investigators was significantly associated with more publications and percent effort in research. Clinical research training programs should identify and implement approaches to enhance these characteristics.

“…Continued federal support for this program is clearly justified, and future studies will allow us to further refine the objectives and design of mentored training programs to optimize their overall effectiveness. Studies evaluating the success of the PRIDE Program compared to training supported by professional societies such as the American Society of Hematology, Clinical Research Training Institute 10 will be of interest with regards to their impact and the approaches used, to achieve shared training objectives.…”
