An investigation of the role of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) biomedical research activity is reported, based on counts of research support acknowledgments in 264 biomedical journals covered by the Science Citation Index in 1973. Overall, NIH research support was acknowledged in approximately 25% of the clinical papers and almost 50% of the biomedical research papers. At all levels, NIH support appears to be twice as large as that of all other federal agencies combined. Each of the major institutes of NIH shows a dual pattern of research support, with a specific peak in the appropriate clinical areas and a second peak of supported research in an area of basic research activity.
本文基于1973年《科学引文索引》收录的264种生物医学期刊中研究支持致谢的统计数据，报告了美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）生物医学研究活动的作用调查。总体而言，约25%的临床论文和近50%的生物医学研究论文致谢了NIH的研究支持。在各个层面，NIH的支持似乎是所有其他联邦机构支持总和的两倍。NIH的每个主要研究所都呈现出研究支持的双重模式，在相应的临床领域有一个特定的峰值，在基础研究活动领域有第二个受支持研究的峰值。
