Funding in, findings out

For any dataset: the NCI award that paid to create it, and the awards that got a published finding out of it afterwards.

NCI money spent on data it did not pay to generate

No award can be attributed. Either no repository or reviewer names this dataset's marker paper, or RePORTER indexes no NCI award against it.

Why one side of this chain is empty

This dataset's marker paper is this pipeline's own nomination, not a repository's or a reviewer's. Attributing generation funding from a guess about which paper describes the cohort is exactly the mistake this project argues against, so no award is claimed.

Awards that maintain or redistribute this data

Resource and center grants credited on articles that used the data. Kept out of the flow above because they pay for the pipes, not for a cohort or a finding.

Where the links come from

NIH RePORTER maps a PMID to the awards that reported it. On a dataset’s marker paper that gives the awards which created it; on an article that used the data, the awards which funded that use.

The two sides are not measured alike. Generation is complete: a dataset has one marker paper and every award on it is resolved. Reuse is a sample - the articles using a dataset can number in the thousands, and only the few dozen strongest are retrieved and looked up. Every award shown here funded reuse; there are more that are not shown.

How far it reaches

283 datasets have an award credited with creating them, 80 with using them, and 31 both.

What is missing

No citable accession means no traceable articles; no authoritative marker paper means no attributable generation award. Absence is a gap in the record. Methods.

Start from an award instead, and see every dataset it touches.
