Network analysis performed on 44 South Carolina Clinical and Translational Research (SCTR) Institute pilot project program funded individuals with 140 publications that cited the SCTR Institute grant number and a randomly selected matching cohort (control group) of 44 individuals with 145 publications citing other non-SCTR Institute funding. The pilot project program funded individuals had significantly higher degree centrality with an average of 3.16 unique coauthors per individual versus 1.23 in the control group. Colors randomly represent different clusters.
