Who gets funded? Determinants of research funding among dentists affiliated with the Brazilian Society of Stomatology and Oral Pathology

Le résumé fourni par la source

Objective: This study aimed to examine whether the number of funded research projects is associated with publication output among Brazilian researchers in the fields of Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine. Material and Methods: The sample was composed of 178 dental professionals affiliated with the Brazilian Society of Stomatology and Oral Pathology. A negative binomial regression model was employed to assess the association between the number of funded research projects and bibliometric indicators of productivity. Results: The analysis revealed that each one-point increase in a researcher’s h-index corresponded to a 3.9% rise in the expected number of funded projects (Exp(B) = 1.039; p = 0.001), and each additional last-author publication was associated with a 1.4% increase (Exp(B) = 1.014; p = 0.024). Conclusion: The findings suggest that funding allocation is more closely related to sustained scholarly impact and senior authorship than to publication volume alone. Further studies employing qualitative or longitudinal methods may clarify the determinants of funding allocation in Brazilian Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine.
