重建英国科研资助全链条数据,打通从申请到结果的完整流程。
Demystifying Funding: Reconstructing a Unified Dataset of the UK Funding Lifecycle
- 整合三大独立数据源,还原资助从发布到决策的全过程。
- 覆盖英国研究理事会全部资助周期,包含未获资助项目。
- 公开数据与代码,支持科研资助政策分析与公平性研究。
我们重构了英国研究理事会(UKRI)的科研门户(Gateway to Research, GtR)数据库,将资助机会与其对应的项目提案及评审会议结果关联起来。现有研究多聚焦于已资助项目及其成果,而本工作通过整合三个此前孤立的数据源——GtR项目数据库、UKRI资助机会信息、各研究理事会的竞标决策记录,完整闭合了科研资助生命周期。我们详述了数据收集中的技术挑战,包括发布格式不一致和评审结果访问受限等问题。最终构建的数据集支持对资助流程的全面分析,涵盖从资助公告到研究产出的全阶段。相关数据库与代码已公开。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We present a reconstruction of UKRI's Gateway to Research (GtR) database that links funding opportunities to their resulting project proposals through panel meeting outcomes. Unlike existing work that focuses primarily on funded projects and their outcomes, we close the complete funding lifecycle by integrating three previously disconnected data sources: the GtR project database, UKRI funding opportunities, and competitive funding decision records across UKRI's research councils. We describe the technical challenges of data collection, including navigating inconsistent publication formats and restricted access to panel decisions. The resulting dataset enables a holistic interrogation of the entire funding process, from opportunity announcement to research outcomes. We release the database and associated code.
