| Abstract:
The method consists of identifying by computer at NIH all projects of a certain kind that were in existence in the years 2006-8 and finished before 2009. Their abstracts were printed and all projects were divided into two categories: knowledge studies and clinical studies. For the latter group, papers were identified that had been supported by the specific program in NIH. A grid of 16 metrics was then applied to these papers and estimates were made. In the process a number of lessons were learned.
