Summary: In this study, we analyzed whether research funding contests could promote co-authorship. We found that among pairs who had co-proposed in the previous ten years, co-authorship was 13.8 percentage points more likely in a given year. However, the co-authorship rate was not significantly higher among funded pairs. Yet, when we increased the publication lags towards the length of a typical award, we found that funding, rather than participation, promoted co-authorship.
