Are NIH-funded publications fulfilling the proposed research? An examination of concept-matchedness between NIH research grants and their supported publications

作者：

Highlights：

• We analyzed the ratio of keyword-matchedness between NIH research grant proposals and publications they funded.

• This is the first analysis examining the shift of scientific content within the same funding cycle.

• The relationship between keyword-matchedness and funding rate is weak but moderated by funding program.

• Keywords from both sources are less likely to match as the time gap between the grant and publication increases.
