ResearchScorecard.com relies on funding data derived from the following agencies:
- National Institutes of Health (NIH)
- National Science Foundation (NSF)
- US Department of Energy (DOE)
Grant proposals missing from the ResearchScorecard database can usually be traced to errors in the original grant description data, such as:
- Optical scanning errors
- Variable use of initials in the names of the investigators
- Missing or unavailable financial data
- Type of grant. For example, ResearchScorecard does not track grants issued for conference support. Similarly, older NIH SBIR grants tend to be absent.
