 The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bibliometric performance and post-K award funding of KL2 scholars and compare it to other mentored K awardees at the same institution. This study found no demographic differences among KL2 scholars, but did find that KL2 scholars had more initial publications than other mentored K awardees. Furthermore, the number of initial publications was a significant predictor of future federal grant funding. This article was authored by Kelly Qua and Clara M Pelfrey.
