  <h1>About the Prototype</h1>
    <p>The R&amp;D Dashboard prototypes a grant and award reporting system
      which presents information derived from publicly reported federal agency data
      from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of
      Health.  A next stage production system would
      be fully integrated with all available federal agency databases; this prototype
      reports data only from two agencies from 2001 to 2010. A full system would also
      include much broader outputs than simply publications, patents and patent
      applications; this prototype used currently available data.</p>
