 This study used KL2 scholar publications to determine the types of research supported by the KL2 program and to measure the initial productivity and impact of its scholars. Three different approaches to bibliometrics were illustrated which could be used to determine the types of research a program or hub supports. Internal data records were also combined with bibliometric data to provide a comprehensive view of the performance of the KL2 scholars. Gender differences were observed in the types of research conducted by the scholars, as well as favourable results in terms of continued engagement in research. The study concluded that linking bibliometric data with internal data records provides a number of innovative possibilities for evaluating a clinical and translational science award, CTSA, HUB's programs and investigators.
