New Congressional District Detail Report released

IRIS has released a new report summarizing research-related university spending in all 435 congressional districts. The Congressional District Detail Report shows total research-related spending, top industries and businesses receiving those funds, and the number of higher educational institutions, students and employees for each district.

IRIS member institutions received a university-specific version, with spending levels only for a single school. A version that aggregates spending from all IRIS members, representing about 40% of U.S. total federal R & D spending, is also available, and can be viewed at https://myumi.ch/7Zy7A.

New NSF grant will create mosaic of data on the impact of university research 

A $2 million, three-year NSF grant recently awarded to IRIS will create a mosaic of linked data resources that will shed new light on the impacts of university-based research.

Under the auspices of the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES), the funding will allow IRIS to link our UMETRICS dataset to several existing data resources.
