​New Digital Research Report Looks at the Landscape of Climate Research Funding

This report uses data from the Dimensions database of competitive research grants, which indexes more than $1 trillion across more than 1.5 million individual grants and awards, linked to principal investigators and to their institutions. In light of new US government policy and funding changes around environmental protection and climate research, it will be difficult to assess the impact of these new rulings until years after the policy has been enacted. However, funding data provide a more proximate bellwether than traditional research analytics: research grant data can track overall trends highlighting where the impacts will fall, providing a useful reference point.   Figure: The distribution of grants awarded to countries for research on ‘climate change’. More intense colour indicates a greater relative number of grants to the country. You can download this report now via Figshare here and we will be discussing online using #climatechangereport.   The post ​New Digital Research Report Looks at the Landscape of Climate Research Funding appeared first on STM.
