description: >
  This dataset contains data from the NIH, covering the years 1985 to 2023. Gender and race labels have been added for Principal Investigators (PIs) using name-based prediction models. The dataset also includes estimated grant values, obtained via web scraping. Name-based labeling methods, while useful for estimating demographic information, have limitations and do not reflect the true identities of PIs. Shortcomings include the exclusion of certain racial groups (e.g., American Indians, Alaska Natives) and the oversimplification of categories like ‘Asian,’ failing to capture recent demographic changes such as MENA inclusion. See the paper included in this repository for a detailed description (Chapter 4).
