An important project that is part of the U.S. Census Bureau's Innovation Measurement Initiative (IMI) is the work of linking IRIS data (also known as UMETRICS). The UMETRICS (Universities Measuring EffecTs of Research on Innovation, Competitiveness, and Science) dataset was created from early efforts to document the effects of economic stimulus and is housed at IRIS, which is a consortium of universities anchored by an IRB-approved data repository. 

The 2018 IMI UMETRICS data release includes information on awards, wage payments from awards to university research employees, vendor purchases, subcontracts, and the unit performing the funded research for 26 universities, released in May 2018. University employee data are linked to internal Census Bureau data products, such as the Decennial Census, American Communities Survey, Longitudinal Employee-Employer Household Dynamics database (LEHD), integrated Longitudinal Business Database, and other demographic information. Vendors paid by research grants are linked to the Business Register, Longitudinal Business Database, and the LEHD, providing researchers with a comprehensive view on the businesses associated with the production of scientific research.

The dataset includes transactions from approximately 300,000 federal and non-federal awards including payments to over 350,000 individuals as well as payments to over 600,000 vendors, sub-contractors, and other research performers totaling $27 billion. We integrate this information with detailed data on over 300,000 federal and non-federal awards.

These linked data are now available for research in the FSRDC. UMETRICS data without Census linkages can be accessed through a virtual data enclave maintained by IRIS.
