Sponsored articles in cardiovascular disease research from individual NIH institutes, 1996–2006, with 11-year annualized growth rates.

Individual articles may have received support from more than one institute, thus the sum of the percentiles from each institute exceeds 100%.*The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) was created in December 2000, and thus no data were available for the first 5 years of the study. Trend analysis was performed on the 6 years for which data were available, 2001 to 2006.
