Update frequency & delivery

• Built from NIH RePORTER and NSF awards data (US federal public domain) via the DataForge research-grants pipeline.
• Chain funnel covers NIH (official publication/patent link tables); NSF awards contribute to the funding side only — documented in the methodology.

Compliance & provenance

Collected only from publicly accessible pages and endpoints — no login-required data, no CAPTCHA solving, no forged authentication. Collection is rate-limited with an identified User-Agent, and collection logs are retained. PII is removed or pseudonymized. Every record carries its source URL and collection timestamp. Sold under a tiered commercial license.
