What does research funding look like?
We help the research and funding communities understand what is going on in
research globally, and how they are involved in it.
The Research Landscape
A portfolio company of
Millions of Projects, at over a trillion US Dollars, from hundreds of research funders around the World.
We collect, clean, and disambiguate data from hundreds of sources in order to develop a body of data that can be instantly functional.

Landscape Analysis – Brexit!
With the data disambiguated and searchable by any parameter, landscape analysis is extremely simple.
A report on the potential effects of Brexit, before the vote, became a major source of predictive information after it.

Looking into the Future
Approximately 10% of our data details either on-going projects, or projects which have not yet started.
This means the nature of the data itself is forward-looking, and it will be the first place where new trends in research will be evidenced.
Importantly, it is also a different type of information. It is describing what is intended, rather than what has already happened.

A Topic Example - Optogenetics
The science of using light to control the electrical activity of neural cells or to use light as an indicator of neural activity. This is commonly done using proteins introduced using genetic techniques.

Optogenetics
Papers
Oct. 2006 – First paper published usingthe word optogenetic (with Miesenböckas one author).
Funded Projects
Sept. 2003 – NIDA funds a project byGero Miesenböck entitled “GeneticallyEncoded Phototriggers of NeuronalActivity”.
Nov. 2007 – First funded project in theDimensions database which contains theword optogenetic – from the BBSRC inthe UK.
The appearance of the key optogenetic protein “channelrhodopsin” in funded projects and publications over time. If only the publications could be seen, would this give the same impression?

Of course, with these examples you need to know what to look for.
However, using Natural Language Processing and analysis of key term frequencies, we are now starting to do automatic identification of new trends.

New applications for funding
Funding is of course only one piece of the
puzzle – but an important piece!
Funded Research Projects are the last major piece of the research process puzzle, but when
used effectively can be hugely
informative about the direction of things to come.
