作者:

Highlights:

• This paper studies predictive validity of grant decisions, including data from rejected applicants.

• The grant decisions seem to have no predictive validity, as the successful applicants have no higher performance than the best performing non-successful applicants.

• Career grants do help successful applicants to get higher positions.

• Gender remains playing a role in academic careers.
