  • High publication volume relative to active NIH funding

    Moderately supported

    Decision Making and Reward shows roughly 74 recent PubMed records for every active NIH project matched in RePORTER. Areas that publish heavily on comparatively few funded projects often rely on secondary analyses and small studies, which leaves room for primary data collection.

    Evidence

    53,797 PubMed records over the last six years against 729 active NIH projects totalling $47,124,510. Both figures are pulled live from NIH sources.

    Possible dissertation angle

    Propose a primary data-collection study rather than another secondary analysis, and target a funding mechanism (such as an F31) that rewards new data in an area where funded projects are scarce.
