Abstract

PURPOSE: Investigators and funding organizations desire knowledge on topics and trends in publicly funded research but current efforts for manual categorization have been limited in breadth and depth of understanding. We present a semiautomated analysis of 21 years of R-type National Cancer Institute (NCI) grants to departments of radiation oncology and radiology using natural language processing.
