As with the reference database, this produced a very long list of grants and awards that needed a subsequent culling of those that did not fit the definition or were personnel awards or other special initiatives rather than operating grants or similar research core funding. This primary list included all funding associated with the Genetics Institute regardless of identified theme, all CIHR funding with a clinical theme, and key words searches with various combinations using such words as "clinical," "medical," "genetic," "genetics," "counselling," "counseling," "biochemical," "cytogenetics," "molecular," "human," "birth defect," "birth defects," "abnormalities," "congenital," "malformation" etc.
Cette liste préliminaire incluait toutes les subventions en rapport avec l’Institut de génétique, quel que soit le thème utilisé, toutes les subventions des IRSC ayant un thème clinique et les résultats des recherches par mots-clés avec différentes associations comme « clinique », « médical », « génétiques », « génétique », « counselling », « biochimique », « cytogénétique », « moléculaire », « humain », « anomalie congénitale », « anomalies congénitales », « anomalies », « congénitales », « malformation » ("clinical," "medical," "genetic," "genetics," "counselling," "counseling," "biochemical," "cytogenetics," "molecular," "human," "birth defect," "birth defects," "abnormalities," "congenital," "malformation"), etc.
