Relative growth rate for funding provided by the NIH for both UX-relevant and clinical research—relevant projects as well as for overall extramural funding over a five-year period from 2007 through 2011

Notes: In this analysis, we used funding as of 2007 as a baseline. The trends reflect an overall decline in NIH funding for clinical research and associated areas (including UX innovation with applications in the clinical research domain) beginning in 2010 and coinciding with policy and funding initiatives related to the NIH roadmap for clinical and translational science
