3Battery lab College51NSF grant, 3 preprints

Grants, preprints and patent filings add up to a score for each lab, and a registered company links the lab to its spinout.

What it does

Grants to labs

NIH and NSF grants link to the university labs that hold them.

Preprints to products

Preprints are tracked as they turn up in patents, products and new companies.

Spinouts linked

Each new company links to the lab it came from and the grants behind it.

The contract

A lab record lists its grants, preprints and spinouts, each with its source, license and read time.

Full glossary

Preprint: A research paper posted publicly ahead of journal publication.
SBIR: Small Business Innovation Research: US federal funding for small firms in phases, from Phase I feasibility awards to Phase III follow-on contracts.
Hyperedge: A link that joins more than two things at once, such as a paper, its code, its dataset and its authors.
Read time: When Teleon fetched a record from its source. It sits beside the source's own dates, so readers can judge how fresh each record is.
