N1 - Funding Information:
Background: The Jahnigen Career Development Awards program was launched in 2002 with private funding and transformed into the Grants for Early Medical/Surgical Specialists’ Transition to Aging Research (GEMSSTAR) program in 2011 through support from the National Institute on Aging and medical specialty professional societies. The Jahnigen/GEMSSTAR program has provided grants to early career physician-scientists from 10 surgical and related medical specialties to initiate and sustain research careers in the geriatric aspect of their discipline. From 2002 to 2016, there were 20 Jahnigen/GEMSSTAR recipients in emergency medicine (EM). The goal of this investigation was to examine the impact of Jahnigen/GEMSSTAR awards on careers of EM recipients and on development of academic geriatric EM.
Funding Information:
From the Division of Emergency Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College (TR), New York, NY; the BerbeeWalsh Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (MS), Madison, WI; the American Geriatrics Society (NEL), New York, NY; the American College of Emergency Physicians (CS), Irving, TX; the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (MM), Des Plaines, IL; the Becker Medical Library (CCS, AMS) and the Department of Emergency Medicine (CRC), Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO; the Department of Ophthalmology, Houston Methodist Hospital, Blanton Eye Institute (AGL), Houston, TX; and the Division of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology, School of Medicine, The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine (JRB), Baltimore, MD. Received December 11, 2017; revision received February 6, 2018; accepted February 13, 2018. Dr. Rosen’s participation was supported by a GEMSSTAR (Grants for Early Medical and Surgical Subspecialists’ Transition to Aging Research) grant (R03 AG048109) and by a Paul B. Beeson Emerging Leaders in Aging Career Development Award (K76 AG054866) from the National Institute on Aging. Dr. Rosen is also the recipient of a Jahnigen Career Development Award, supported by the John A. Hartford Foundation, the American Geriatrics Society, the Emergency Medicine Foundation, and the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine. Dr. Shah's participation was supported by a mentoring award in patient-oriented research from the National Institute on Aging (K24AG054560).

Funding Information:
4.5 (IQR = 1.6–7.0). All scholars had h-indices of 6 or more, with a median of 18 (IQR = 9–28). Jahnigen/ GEMSSTAR scholars have served as principal investigator (PI) or co-PI on 126 grants since their award, with 90% having served as PI on at least one additional grant and 30% having received National Institutes of Health Career Development Awards. All scholars reported believing that the Jahnigen/GEMSSTAR was very helpful or helpful for career progress. Most (85%) reported ongoing contributions to geriatric EM in research, education, or administration.

The goal of this investigation was to examine the impact of Jahnigen/GEMSSTAR awards on careers of EM recipients and on development of academic geriatric EM. Methods: We conducted an online survey of the 20 EM recipients from 2002 to 2016 and analyzed their academic productivity, research impact, career trajectory, and contributions to geriatric EM since receiving the award. Results: All 20 Jahnigen/GEMSSTAR scholars completed the survey. Scholars have published a median of 33 peer-reviewed articles (interquartile range [IQR] = 10–97) since the award, with median annual publication rates of 4.5 (IQR = 1.6–7.0). All scholars had h-indices of 6 or more, with a median of 18 (IQR = 9–28). Jahnigen/GEMSSTAR scholars have served as principal investigator (PI) or co-PI on 126 grants since their award, with 90% having served as PI on at least one additional grant and 30% having received National Institutes of Health Career Development Awards. All scholars reported believing that the Jahnigen/GEMSSTAR was very helpful or helpful for career progress. Most (85%) reported ongoing contributions to geriatric EM in research, education, or administration. Conclusions: After the Jahnigen/GEMSSTAR award, EM scholars have been highly academically productive and successful, and the award has been instrumental in their career development. Awardees have been critical to the development of geriatric EM.
