Investigators
Every pre-ticker company in the graph starts with a scientist and a grant. These are the principal investigators whose federal awards the crosswalk resolved onto a company, ordered by how many companies trace back to their work. The counts and funding totals are drawn from public federal grant records (NIH RePORTER and SBIR.gov); a profile follows one investigator from award to company.
5,495 investigators have at least one grant resolved onto a company. Showing the 60 with the most.

Grant counts and funding totals are public federal records, shown identically to every visitor and attributed to the investigator name exactly as the awarding agency filed it. This is a record of public grants, not a profile of a person, and it is informational only — not investment advice. Data sources
