Funding organizations impact the research environment through their support of various innovative studies. The data generated in these studies can be an important way to track the progress of the studies under a funding initiative. ProjectLive is designed to help our external and internal partners track the progress of each study present on the NF Data Portal through simple visualizations of yearly or monthly tracking of upload and annotation of data files generated in the study.

The support of funding organizations like yours greatly impacts the research being conducted through various innovative studies. Tracking the data generated by these studies is an effective and important way for you to understand the impact that your organization has made. That’s why we created the ProjectLIVE app—so you can see an overview of this progress all in one place.
The visualizations provided throughout this app will give you summary-level information related to all the studies in your organization’s funding portfolio. Are you hoping to access and download the actual files and data contained within each of these studies? You can do so back to the NF Data Portal. And you can find instructions on navigating the NF Data Portal and finding data of interest throughout the rest of our documentation site.
Overview of the app:
ProjectLive can help you track progress of your organization’s funding at various levels of granularity and aspects, using the following top level modules:
SNAPSHOTSnapshot: This module provides a bird's eye view of the your organization's funding structure and activity in the funded studies year over year through various summary level visualizations (or plots).PUBLICATIONSPublications: This module is focused on longitudinal tracking of the publications associated with the studies funded through an organization.PARTICIPATING STUDIESParticipating Studies: This module provides focused information about individual studies with a high level of granularity ranging from tracking the annotation status of uploaded files to tracking of upload activity as it relates to the study's expected milestones.NEW SUBMISSIONSNew Submissions: This module provides a list of all newly uploaded files within the last n number of days (you can pick the window of time).
Each of the modules is further subdivided into submodules that provide visualizations of has its own set of visualizations—presented as bar plots—designed to feature specific aspects of the funded studies. ProjectLive is designed to give you summary level information related to all the studies in an your organization’s funding portfolio. To access and download the files and data contained within each of these studies in various initiatives, please navigate back to the NF Data Portal. Instructions on navigating the NF Data Portal and finding data of interest is available throughout the rest of our documentation siteMore details on each of these modules is presented further down on this page.

Snapshot module
This module is designed to provide you with an overview of all the data contributed to the NF Data Portal through the organization’s current and past initiatives. It’s a clear, “snapshot” glance of all the studies your organization has funded over the years. You provides a bird's eye view of your organization's funding structure and activity in the funded studies year over year. Through the Overview section and the various bar plots, you can see the total number of studies, files, samples, and publications, by year, and by study. This module does not provide details on individual files themselves. You can access the actual files through the data portal.

The Snapshot module features the following bar plots:
Initiative Activity:
This submodule bar plot shows the a summary of each each initiative as it has generated data through the years. This plot specifically years—more specifically, it shows how much of the generated data is available to the public, versus how much has private or restricted access.
Each bar in the plot of this submodule shows the number of files with Access Type: labelled as Private, Public, or Restricted Access.Any files that do not have accessType annotated will be labeled Not Annotated.
You can hover over any of the colored slices of the bar plot to see the actual count of files (see screenshot below).

Resources Generated
This submodule bar plot provides an overview of the various data types generated , by year, suggesting the nature of experiments that studies have been focusing focused on in a particular year or funding cycle. The plot is ordered such that the data type with the highest number of files in the most recent year will surface to the top of the list. You can hover over any of the colored slices of the bars corresponding to each data type to see which studies contributed to that data type.
File Upload Timeline
This submodule bar plot provides an overview of file upload activity of individual studies in specific funding initiatives over time during their funding period.
View the activity of studies in a specific initiative:
The top of the submodule provides a dropdown list of all the funding initiatives in your organization.
Select one of the initiatives to focus on the studies included in the initiative.
