It has been pointed out that female researchers are less frequently awarded research grants and publish less scientific papers compared with male researchers. KAKENHI distributed by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science is a valuable source of public research funding. This study was performed to determine the h-indices of female researchers at the Tokyo Women's Medical University School of Medicine, who were awarded KAKENHI for four or five consecutive years during the past five years. Published materials, database and SCOPUS were used. Between fiscal years 2003 and 2007, a total of 44 female researchers were awarded Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B) and (C), and for Exploratory Research. Five female researchers who were awarded the Grant-in-Aid for five consecutive years had h-indices of 3-19 (median 15), and another 5 female researchers who were awarded the Grant for 4 out of five years had h-indices of 4-10 (median 7). Female researchers who were awarded KAKENHI for five consecutive years tended to have higher h-index compared to female researchers who obtained the Grant for 4 out of 5 years (p = 0.074). However, four researchers who were awarded Grant-in-Aid for Exploratory Research had h-indices of 2-10 (median 4). For female researchers to acquire KAKENHI continuously, it is important to write research papers in English, to publish in scientific journals, to publish findings of importance or interest, and to be cited. It is possible that higher h-index is one of the critical factors which predict the possibility of obtaining funding.
