Abstract

In this chapter, we lay out the challenges that women face when pursuing a research career in pediatrics, and in academic medicine generally. Specifically, we review the concept of the “leaky pipeline, " which reduces the numbers of women in the more senior research positions. We identify structural elements of an academic career in research, such as training, funding, and peer review publication process, and promotion may contribute to the leaky pipeline. Modifying these structural elements to eliminate existing gender bias is critical to “sealing the leak” in the pipeline.
