 This study examined the impact of federal grant funding on translational biomedical research centers over a five-year period. Bibliometric data was collected from a sample of 485 researchers who had received grants from the National Institutes of Health. The results showed that the research team and their collaborators published 157 papers during this time frame, with the majority of these papers being related to Alzheimer's disease, brain imaging, and neuropsychological testing in the elderly. Additionally, the research team's publications were found to be more influential than those of other R01 funded projects. This suggests that federal grant funding has been successful in supporting translational biomedical research centers and producing high-quality scientific output.
