The data dictionary, defining each column in the CSV, is available here: https://report.nih.gov/exporter-data-dictionary
For your convenience and so you can see it locally, I've replicated the data dictionary in this repo in the text file named NIH_RePORTER_Project_Data_Dictionary.
For your convenience and so you can see it locally, I've replicated the data dictionary in this repo in the text file named NIH_RePORTER_Project_Data_Dictionary.
## Setting up
If you want to try out the R code, you'll need to download the individual .CSV files of RePORTER data either at the link above or from the NIH website. Each .CSV file represents one year of data. I recommend making a folder structure like this:
Top level folder: NIH_Data
Folder within that top level folder: data
In that data folder, place your downloaded .CSV files. The code in the script will combine these into a single dataframe which you will work with by filtering the data and visualizing it by generating charts.
