Know Your Funders: Government Funded Research Databases

Federal R&D Project Summaries: Tips

Federal R&D Project Summaries

Search multiple-agency federally funded research in one interface!  This portal provides descriptions, awards, and summaries of federally funded research with fulltext single-query searching across databases at different agencies, including, National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF),  the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Small Business Administration (SBA), the Department of Energy (DOE), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).  Select any or all of the databases.  Queries are sent in real-time, so as soon as an agency updates its database, you will see the new results.  Default display is in ranked order.  Use the “See Results by Source” button after performing a search to display in a counted list by agency.  Be sure to also search NIH RePORTER directly for more complete or more targeted results from NIH.

Tips:

• Search engine is not case sensitive
• If a phrase is entered, the “And” operator is assumed
• Use * to truncate terms (wildcard character)
• OR operator is recognized and will work
