Data for The value of insiders as mentors : evidence from the effects of NSF rotators on early career scientists Sebastian Hoenen (24905764) Christos Kolympiris (24905761) Scientists National Science Foundation rotation program Career development Universities and colleges -- Graduate work -- United States Migrated from ePrints We show that academics with experience in government jobs generate spillovers for their early career colleagues. Our template is the National Science Foundation rotation program in which the agency employs academics, called rotators, on loan from their university. Shortly after the rotator’s return from the agency, fresh assistant professors in her department double their research resources and are more likely to win small and medium size grants compared to academics in three control groups. Consistent with evidence that the mechanism is mentoring from the rotator, the results suggest that access to individuals with insights gained outside academia propels scientific careers.<br><br>Data record consists of 12 Stata data files in .do and .tab format, as well as a readme file. All files are named according to the table data they contain and replicate.
