Possible integrations with external APIs

[briri]

• NIH (but possibly more ... refers to a plural Federal Reporter APIs): https://api.federalreporter.nih.gov/
• All Gov agencies: https://www.science.gov/servicesandtools.html
• NSF Awards API: https://github.com/samapriya/nsfsearch

Think about adding Swagger docs: https://medium.com/@clarkjohnson_85334/adding-swagger-docs-to-a-rails-6-api-using-rswag-a3e8bc577986

Investigating various systems in search of additional metadata awards:

• IRAP (SPX) Award DB
  • Aggregates metadata about awards across all campuses. Data includes PI info, award start/end dates, funder and sponsor info, and proposal/opportunity numbers and award numbers (although these are not guaranteed to be the identifiers used by the funding agencies)
• NSF
  • NSF provides a suitable API - award API docs
• DOE
  • USASpending has an extensive API - award UI page, API docs - Data is geared towards tracing dollars back to legislation and funding/budget allocations at the Fed level. No PI info or other useful metadata for our purposes
  • OSTI Award API - info page - they are currently piloting this with 2 institutions and it is not yet ready for the public
  • OSTI Publications API - API docs, sample results - Could be useful to verify/augment our existing metadata since it has PI info, but not much info about the award and occurs at the end stages of the research project
  • Portfolio Analysis and Management System (PAMS) - award UI page, help page - contacted and they do not have an API at this time for this info
• NIH
  • NCBI Entrez API - docs - Appears to provide info about Pubmed articles and other databases. Need to explore further
