Percent of the Alliance investigator authored publications that are cited by clinical papers – authored by Alliance and/or non-Alliance investigators. This analysis was carried out using iTrans software from the National Institutes of Health – by program Phase and by grant type (Du, Li, Guo, & Tang, 2019). For comparison, this analysis was performed for grants originating from the NIH NANO study section over the period of time corresponding to all three Phases of the Alliance program. The figure displays that both CCNE and smaller Alliance grants tend to be cited more often in subsequent clinical papers when compared to grants originating from the NIH NANO study section.
