Fig 1.
Awards and publications under the MoBE program.
A: New awards made each year. B: Active awards in each year. C: Publications in each year. Dark gray vertical lines indicate the end of 2017, when MoBE-funded publications were identified. Colors indicate award types in A and B; color is not meaningful in C.
Table 1.
Organizations that received 3 or more awards under the MoBE program.
Awards include research funding as well as funds for meeting organization, data infrastructure development, outreach, and other categories. n: Number of awards received.

Table 2.
Counts of papers in the analysis dataset, grouped by author type and whether they were funded by the MoBE program.
Author groups are based only on authors included in either the collaboration or comparison set. For example, a non-MoBE paper by two collaboration authors and a third author (not included in either the collaboration set or the comparison set) would be counted as “collaboration authors only”.
Fig 3.
Consolidation of the MoBE collaboration over time.
Panels show time slices (non-cumulative) of the giant component of the combined coauthor network. Blue nodes and edges are MoBE authors and papers; red nodes and edges are non-MoBE authors and papers. Network layouts are calculated separate for each slice using the Fruchterman-Reingold algorithm with default values in the igraph package.
Fig 4.
See text for explanation of the different statistics calculated here. Solid lines correspond to observed values; shaded ribbons correspond to 90% confidence intervals on rewired networks, where 5% of the observed edges are randomly rewired while maintaining each node’s degree distributions. 100 rewired networks are generated for each author set-year combination. Dashed lines correspond to observed values for authors with 50 or more total papers in the data. Blue corresponds to the MoBE collaboration; red corresponds to the peer comparison set of authors. Vertical lines indicate 2004, the first year of research funding by the MoBE program. Due to publication lags, we would not expect to see effects from 2004 funding until 2006-07.
