CPProfane, it seems that I’m now an integral part of your nightmares. Good for me. Since you know who I am and I know who you are, it is even more satisfying.
Wow, this is a lot of very accessible information1 links to manuscripts via “Results”! amount spent. It’s fast, too. Much better than CRISP. It’s excellent, as an example of public access/open records/taxpayer rights. But, it does make “staying under the radar” moot for researchers. I’d expect both AR activists and anti-spending advocates to make extensive use of this site to target specific projects.
I consider this a reasonable price to pay for making the work the people funded available to the people, but researchers should be prepared/proactive to advocate for their research.
(And, it’s just untenable, in the long run, for those “results” links not to result in the “public” being able to click through to read about the work the government funded).
This is awesome, especially the extremely profuse ‘project terms’ they include (which must be entered by someone there, cuz I know I didn’t put all those in). I found out through that site that my NIH-funded project is about “plasmalemma”!! I didn’t even know!
“Next they just need to add RSS feeds so I can obsessively follow people and topics.”
Oh my, that’s a scary thought. But, good, though. The public have a right to this information.
