The comprehensiveness of these databases varies, as does the quality of the linkages formed among them. Over time, the quality of RePORTER data has improved as a result of changes in both data collection (e.g., implementation of the NIH Public Access policy) and the increased ability to identify missing information that comes from making these data accessible to more people.</span></span></p> <span class="card-body d-block three"><span class="card-title d-block three">Which agencies provide data on projects and for what time periods?</span> </span> <table align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0px;

Funding for each grant's "project period" (for most grants, three to five years) is allocated among several budget periods. Each budget period is typically one year, but can be lengthened through a no-cost extension. A budget period ends, and a new one begins, when a new year of funding is allocated through a noncompeting (type 5) award. On rare occasions, the most recent budget period will end before the next noncompeting award can be issued to begin a new budget period. In these cases, a grant will temporarily become inactive until the noncompeting award is issued and the new budget period begins. The grant can still be found in RePORTER by changing the query to search all fiscal years.</span></span></p> <span class="card-body d-block seven"><span class="card-title d-block seven">Searching by Fiscal Year</span> </span> <ul style="margin: 0px; padding: 10px 0px 10px 45px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; list-style-image: url('images/bullet.gif'); vertical-align: middle; color: #334651; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background: left bottom repeat-x #f8f8f9; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #c4c4c4 #c4c4c4 #eaebed; list-style: none outside none; min-height: 34px;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /> <span class="card-body d-block seven"><span class="card-text d-block seven"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Active Projects</strong>: Unless specified, RePORTER searches for “Active Projects;” the most recent record of projects that have not yet reached their end date (in the case of extramural grants and contracts) or intramural projects from the most recent database of <a rel="noopener" href="https://intramural.nih.gov/search/index.taf" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: #1e5792; line-height: 18px; text-decoration-line: none;">annual reports from the NIH intramural programs</a>.

They are calculated in the following manner:<br /> <br /> 1) A “fingerprint” is created of the project, consisting of scientific terms (keywords mined from written descriptions of the project—title, abstract, specific aims, and public health relevance statement) and a numerical weight for each term. A term’s weight is both directly related to the frequency with which the term appears in the project description (terms appearing most frequently in a project’s description receive a higher weight), and inversely related to the frequency with which the term appears across all projects in the database (very common terms receiving a lower weight). To create these fingerprints, NIH uses an indexing tool for its Research, Condition, and Disease Categorization process (see <a style="word-break:break-all;" href="/funding/categorical-spending/rcdc-process">Research, Condition, and Disease Categorization Process</a>).<br /> <br /> 2) The most highly weighted terms in the project’s fingerprint are used to find matching projects in RePORTER with fingerprints containing one or more of these same terms.<br /> <br /> 3) The Match Score for each matching project is calculated by cross-multiplying the weights of all terms common to both projects’ fingerprints and then summing these cross-products across all of the common terms.</span></span></p> <span class="card-body d-block three"><span class="card-title d-block three">What is UEI?</span> </span> <p><span class="card-body d-block three"><span class="card-text d-block three">The Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) assigned to all entities (public and private companies, individuals, institutions, or organizations) who must register to do business with the federal government in SAM. <a rel="noopener" href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-21-170.html">Update: Notification of Upcoming Change in Federal-wide Unique Entity Identifier Requirements.</a><br /> <br /> By April 2022, the federal government will stop using the DUNS number to uniquely identify entities registered in the <a rel="noopener" href="https://sam.gov/content/home">System for Award Management (SAM)</a>.

Bulk email addresses are not available through RePORTER/ExPORTER.<br /> <br /> However, contact information for grant recipients has been made available in response to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests in the past. NIH now makes some of this contact information available in a downloadable file in the NIH FOIA Library, under the frequently requested reports at <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.nih.gov/institutes-nih/nih-office-director/office-communications-public-liaison/freedom-information-act-office/contact-information-nih-supported-pis">https://www.nih.gov/institutes-nih/nih-office-director/office-communications-public-liaison/freedom-information-act-office/contact-information-nih-supported-pis</a>.

Some data that was not available at the time have been provided in ancillary files such as funding and DUNS information. Some fields that currently allow for multiple entries, earlier had single entries, FY 2008 and 2009 were ARRA stimulus years, Funding Mechanism did not appear in ExPORTER files until 2009, and so forth. ExPORTER files represent the information found in RePORTER at the time the file was created. </span></span></p> <span class="card-body d-block five"><span class="card-title d-block five">How are projects linked to Publications?</span> </span> <p><span class="card-body d-block five"><span class="card-text d-block five">The data RePORTER and ExPORTER present on publications is integrated from multiple sources, via the NIH internal tool SPIRES, the Scientific Publication Information Retrieval and Evaluation System. SPIRES is an independent system that gathers and integrates information from PubMed, NCBI My Bibliography, and the NIH Intramural Database to link NIH projects with research publications.<br /> <br /> The most common source of associations is publications that list NIH project numbers in the acknowledgements section or elsewhere in the publication, which are annotated by PubMed. As PubMed staff index each abstract, they annotate the PubMed records with any grants that are cited as providing support in the publication itself. These grant numbers then appear on the PubMed abstract page under the heading "Grant Support". Publications are associated with projects but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. </span></span></p> <span class="card-body d-block six"><span class="card-title d-block six">How are projects linked to Patents?</span> </span> <p><span class="card-body d-block six"><span class="card-text d-block six">The patent data in RePORTER and ExPORTER is associated with NIH projects via the data collected through the iEdison database, which grantee organizations use to report information relating to inventions disclosed to the funding agency. In RePORTER and ExPORTER, patents are not currently reported for funding agencies other than the NIH. Patents are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding.<br /> <br /> Please note that the patent information in RePORTER is incomplete. RePORTER and ExPORTER only lists issued patents, and does not show patent in-progress applications. Additionally, not all recipients of NIH funding are compliant with the iEdison reporting requirements, particularly after their NIH support has ended. </span></span></p> <span class="card-body d-block seven"><span class="card-title d-block seven">How are projects linked to Clinical Studies?</span> </span> <p><span class="card-body d-block seven"><span class="card-text d-block seven">The Clinical Studies included in ExPORTER files have cited one or more projects in RePORTER/ExPORTER. These linkages between Clinical Studies and projects come directly from ClinicalTrials.gov, which provides RePORTER with a feed listing any grant numbers that have been entered as part of the trial registrations. Clinical Studies are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. </span></span></p> <span class="card-body d-block eight"><span class="card-title d-block eight">Why is the cost field blank for some records?</span> </span> <p><span class="card-body d-block eight"><span class="card-text d-block eight">RePORTER and ExPORTER display information reported by agencies other than the NIH, some of whom do not report funding data. Costs are only available for projects funded by NIH, CDC, FDA, and ACF.<br /> <br /> Additionally, the content of the ExPORTER files has evolved over time to include more data elements as they became available. ExPORTER provides supplementary files with cost information for FY 1985 - FY 1999. Please click the "Updated funding and DUNS information" text to download this data.<br /> <br /> These accessory files include data items for total costs that can be linked to the Project files using the APPLICATION_ID or FULL_PROJECT_NUM columns. </span></span></p> <span class="card-body d-block nine"><span class="card-title d-block nine">What is the difference between ExPORTER and CRISP?</span> </span> <p><span class="card-body d-block nine"><span class="card-text d-block nine">The CRISP system was the predecessor to RePORTER. It was taken off-line on December 30, 2009. CRISP Legacy data files are available for download <a rel="noopener" href="https://reporter.nih.gov/exporter/crisp">here</a> and include grants funded as early as FY 1970. CRISP files contain fewer data fields than ExPORTER files.</span></span></p> <span class="card-body d-block ten"><span class="card-title d-block ten">What does bulk RePORTER data include for ExPORTER
