What information does Dimensions have for each funded grant?
For the majority of grants the following data fields are included - title, abstract, funder, funding period, grant number, start date, end date, amount of money, researcher(s), organisation hosting the researcher, and the city, state and country of that organisation. In some cases project information does not include information for all of these fields, and this is determined by what the funder makes available. For example, the European Commission does not make the researcher name(s) known.
The below table explains what is meant by each of the data fields.
