NIH public data loaded; RePORTER sidecars pendingFY1985–2026

Project parquet is loaded, but no official NIH RePORTER sync manifest with retrieval metadata is loaded; source currency is unverified. RePORTER updates weekly — load official sidecars and a sync manifest to prove currentness.

The complete record ofNIH funding.

Search, rank, and trace four decades of NIH grants over the full ExPORTER corpus — including the early years, contracts, and non-NIH awards the public RePORTER API can't return. Free to use, and built to show its sources.

Full ExPORTER corpus from NIH bulk data, overlaid with the RePORTER API where available. Every figure is recomputed from source — never estimated.

Why OpenNIH

Built for the numbers others quietly round off.

Most NIH dashboards show the slice the API returns and the totals that flatter. OpenNIH covers the full corpus and ties every figure to a public NIH source.

The full corpus, not a slice

Every NIH fiscal year since 1985 — including the early years, contracts, and non-NIH awards the public RePORTER API can't page through (its results cap near 15,500 rows per query).

Rankings limited to competed research grants

Competitive institution rankings include only peer-reviewed, competed research grants (the R-series RPG mechanisms) — never inflated all-codes totals that fold in training, centers, and contracts.

Missing dollars stay missing

Nearly half of all records carry no award amount — early years, contracts, non-NIH agencies. We render those as “Not reported,” never a fabricated $0.

Audit trail

Auditable by design.

Every ranking, total, and chart traces to public NIH data and documented methods. Read the methodology, inspect data coverage, or file a correction against official NIH evidence.
