All costs are in units of $1000. All data were obtained from the publicly available NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools (RePORT). Estimates of funding for various RCDCs are at http://report.nih.gov/categorical_spending.aspx. Clinical projects are those categorized in RCDC as “Clinical Research” or “Clinical Trials.” Total NHLBI extramural funding in FY10 was $2 441 772 050. Values for numbers of projects, total funding for each mechanism, and median (25th, 75th percentiles) costs per project were calculated using the SAS Version 9.2 “Proc Tabulate” procedure.
