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.
