Federal RePORTER is a collaborative effort led by STAR METRICS® to create a searchable database of scientific awards from federal agencies. This database promotes transparency and engages the public, the research community, and federal agencies to describe federal science research investments and provide empirical data for science policy. Users can search across multiple fields in both the Smart Search and Advanced Search functions-including across agencies or fiscal years, by the award's project leader, or by a text search of a project's title, terms, or abstracts.
