Select the one dataset that serves as the touchstone of state-level science and research data.

There aren't a lot of candidates here. States don't do much R&D, and grants that they offer are often published pretty far down in their organizational structures (e.g., a department at a state university). There aren't standards in the sciences (or, rather, there are a lot of standards in the sciences) about how to publish research data, so it's not realistic to expect states to aggregate all state-funded research results into a single file.

Perhaps a domain expert will have ideas.

Have an email out to one - we could hold on this or eliminate it. I would be happier eliminating this category than the general statistics category.

Failed to connect with my contact this week (my fault.) Let's hold on this one until next week.
