<br/><br/> BACKGROUND: The effect of academic influence, or the volume and quality of a surgeon's publications, on industry payments and National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding has recently been studied in some academic orthopedic subspecialities. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between academic influence, industry payments, and NIH funding among American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) accredited shoulder and elbow fellowship faculty.  DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that academic influence among academic shoulder and elbow surgeons is not greater in those who receive non-research industry funding. However, surgeons with industry research funding did produce more publications, while NIH funding is associated with greater academic influence. Copyright © 2022. Published by Elsevier Inc.  METHODS: Shoulder and elbow fellowships and affiliated faculty members were identified from the ASES website. Academic influence, measured by Hirsch (h)-index, and number of articles published were determined for faculty members using the Scopus Database Author Identifier tool. Industry payments were derived from the CMS Open Payments Database. NIH funding was determined using The National Institutes of Health's Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tool (RePORT). Statistical analysis used Spearman correlations and the Mann-Whitney U test with an alpha value of 0.05 (p < 0.05).  RESULTS: 146 faculty members were included. Twenty two percent (42/146) received non-research payments, while 78% (114/146) received industry research funding averaging
