Triangle of Medicine analysis. In this analysis, publications associated with a grant or set of grants are analyzed for the fractions of human, animal, and molecular/cellular research. In this case, the outside ring is representative of Alliance research, with about a quarter of the published research categorized as human (24%, blue section), slightly more than a quarter categorized as animal research (26%, orange section), and slightly less than half of Alliance research categorized as molecular/cellular research (44%, gray section). For comparison, we also analyzed the Triangle of Medicine research composition for all grants funded through the NIH NANO study section, represented in the inside ring. In the case of NIH NANO study section funded grants, only about 16% of published research included a human research component, with 22% animal research and 51% molecular/cellular research.
