RaDiUS Database
When active, RaDiUS was the most comprehensive database of the Research and Development (R&D) that is funded by the United States Federal Government. RaDiUS was developed by RAND, in cooperation with the National Science Foundation (NSF), to support the work of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), federal agencies, and all others interested in the federal R&D portfolio.
The contract for RaDiUS operations and maintenance has ended, and this resource is no longer available. Inquiries from current users concerning access to such R&D data should be directed to NSF's Dr. Della-Piana at cdellapi@nsf.gov.
