primarily
by universities, hospitals, and other research institutions; and funded
by the National Institutes of Health and other government agencies.
A relatively small number of research grants are funded by the Centers

also search the databases
for articles that cite a known author or work. Cited Reference
Searching lets you use a given work to identify more recent articles on
the same topic. This type of searching often locates relevant
articles that cannot be retrieved through traditional subject-author
searching.
