The document discusses the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is the primary agency of the United States government responsible for biomedical and public health research. It provides an overview of NIH's structure and budget. Specifically, it notes that NIH is made up of 27 separate institutes and centers and has an annual budget of over $32 billion which is spent on both extramural (over 80% of budget to outside researchers) and intramural (internal NIH campus) research. It also outlines NIH's goal to support fundamental biomedical research and apply new knowledge to improve health outcomes.

We focus on a cohort of 60,447 P01 and R01-equivalent
grants (R01, R29, and R37) which were first funded
between 1995 and 2009. Through the end of 2014, these
grants yielded at least 654,607 papers. We calculated a
“weighted RCR” value for each grant, essentially the sum
of the RCR values for each paper.
