Comprehensive funding information for NIH grants and contracts will soon be available online through the National Institutes of Health Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tool Expenditures and Reports (RePORTER). Like its predecessor CRISP–NIH’s longstanding database of funded projects–RePORTER allows users to locate and view NIH awards using their own search criteria. RePORTER, however, gives users access to detailed budget information, as well as research results and products, including patents and publications. Data from 1985 through to the present–including the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) of 2009–are available and search-able according to user interest.

The NIH Public Access Policy remains a legislative mandate for FY2009 and beyond. Per the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009, investigators funded by the NIH must submit an electronic version of their final, peer-reviewed manuscripts upon acceptance for publication so that these documents may be made freely available no more than 12 months after they are officially published.
Several changes made to the NIH Public Access Policy webpage reflect this development and seek to provide resources for the research community.
