Dataset of research grants from selected funding organisations

This repository contains datasets on research grants from selected funding agencies . 

N.B: The data is  still undergoing development / quality assurance. 

This release (version 1) is mainly a prototype of a more comprehensive datasets on research grants, their results and linkages to other data. 

This release  contains data about 500k grants from four organisations: 

Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) : 27,970 grants (from 2005)

European Union, Framework Programme  (EU FP) : 124,233 grants (from 1984, all Framework Programmes)

US National Science Foundation (NSF):  201,388 grants (from 2007)

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) : 143,600 grants (from 2006)

Where available data following data are also included: 

hosting organisations

researchers involved  

resulting publications . 

The datasets are provided as in "tab-separated-value" format. 

A more detailed documentation, development roadmap, limitations and efforts to link it to existing initiatives is forthcoming. 

The scripts used to create the datasets can be found in this github repository:

Some of the items on the (rough) development roadmap: 

Documentation of the datasets and its creation

Seek collaborations with other interested parties (such as OpenAire or individuals working on this) to discuss the main differences between the datasets and how interests could be aligned to minimize duplication of efforts going into data collection and curation

De-duplicate entities

Expand the coverage

Datasets from other funding agencies (we already have dataset of grants from the US National Institutes of Health 1,3 Millions grants which will be included in the next release)

Other data such as result -patents

Linking to other datasets which may help study the impact of research funding

This version is an incremental upload to the previous version. 

It adds:

an improved version of the dataset researchers from EUFP grants with identifiers etc ....

publications / projects pairs from OpenAire

an experimental dataset of simplified project abstracts . This was done using AI (mistral-7b) for experimentation purposes (use with caution !).
