Research Grant Full-Cost Ledger

This upload contains the full technical documentation and a free evaluation sample (2 awards, 438 expenditure rows) — not the full dataset. The complete dataset (80 awards, 10 linked tables, 111,676 rows, including the 91,102-row daily cash-gap series and the 401-finding answer key) is available here: https://sentineldata.com.ua/dataset/research-grant-full-cost-ledger Sample contents: File Rows What it holds d09_sample.parquet 438 Expenditure rows of 2 awards joined with their award attributes, 21 columns d09_sample.csv 438 CSV twin of the Parquet file Total awards 2 AW0001 (204 rows) and AW0002 (234 rows), both NIH, in USD The sample is a strict row subset of the full dataset, not a re-simulation. It has no answer key, no claim and receipt tables and no daily cash-gap series, and it shows the NIH rule set only. Also included: working_with_parquet.txt , the sample passport, the data passport, the validation report and the literature registry (12 source captures). All rows are simulated; no real award, person or transaction is represented. A university spends money on a research grant first and gets it back later, and usually gets back less than it spent. The UK sector ran a research deficit of £5,367 million in 2023-24 and recovered 66.0% of the full economic cost of its research (median 58.1%), according to the TRAC annual return. MRC and UKRI pay 80% of full economic cost, ... Full description with all tables is on the Wiki page of this project.
