- What do these weekly research-funding figures show, and what do they not show?
- A gain is the difference between two readings of the same yearly record and therefore includes late postings and corrections as well as genuinely new awards; reductions (de-obligations, corrections) are not listed. Readings happen weekly (NIH on Sundays, NSF on Saturdays); the previous record may be older than one week when nothing changed in between — the date is stated. NIH totals exclude subprojects; NSF totals are estimated total award values, not annual payments. Organizations with names in personal form carry no record (FACTANKER rule: no natural persons).

What this covers. New NIH and NSF funding recorded since FACTANKER's previous weekly reading: for every organization, state and the United States the registry keeps one record per fiscal or calendar year; when a weekly reading changes it, the earlier record is kept and superseded. The figures below are the differences between the current record and the superseded one — each links to the page that recomputes it from both. NIH amounts are award totals of the fiscal year (October to September), NSF amounts the estimated total value of awards made in the calendar year. No investigators are named. Hubs: NIH funding, NSF awards.
