Comparison of NIH funding for diabetes and DFUs between 2002 and 2011. A: Total number of NIH-funded studies per year for diabetes, diabetic neuropathy, and DFUs. Total number of studies in each group is shown in parentheses. The proportion of diabetes funding allocated to DFUs as a function of total NIH diabetes studies is 0.0015. B: Total NIH funding (in millions) allocated per year for diabetes and DFUs. Sum total for each category between 2002 and 2001 is shown in parentheses. The proportion of diabetes funding allocated to DFUs as a function of total NIH diabetes funding is 0.0017.
