I asked the Gates Foundation that question the other day, and got this
answer:

"We don¹t currently have a formalized method of tracking published
research that we have funded, but based on the data available in Web of
Science, a citation database, the foundation funded 2,802 research
articles in 2012 and 2013. Of those, 863 (30%) were published in open
access journals.²
