Project Description
This project revolves around examining Medical Centers and viewing their research to see how innovative it is and whether or not Medical Centers in the U.S. are using the grants and money they receive to discover and create new treatments and services. For this project, I plan on collecting data on patents, NIH and NSF grants, and clinical trial data based on zipcodes of medical centers to show how much innovation occurs in these centers. For each research dataset, I plan on finding how many of each type of event (patent, trial, grant) is filed under each zipcode. At this time, I have all the raw data for each research dataset and am going through using regular expressions, I plan on finding out how many matches I have by the end of this week (March 23). After examining these results, I will decide how to present the data and create a paper around it.
Progress Report
Catherine matched patents, grants, and clinical trials to Medical Centers. She is currently working on putting all the data into a database.
Project Data Location

Project Overview
Med Center Data
Project data is in:
E:\McNair\Projects\Biotech Project\medcenter data
Catherine collected all center, institution, and hospital address, zipcode, and phone number data from all United States medical centers. Intending to use this as the basis analyzing the other data gathered.
Clinical Trial Data
Project data is in:
E:\McNair\Projects\FDA Trials
Jeemin collected all data in textpad. There are more entries than excel rows, need to fix the textpad things before looking at stuff again
1. Find the zipcodes that correspond with medical center zipcodes
2. See if the names of medical centers can be matched as well
3. go back and fix the problems encountered
Patent Data
Project data is in:
E:\McNair\Projects\PatentData
- not sure if ready to use yet*
1. Find a way to combine all the excel data onto a couple of spreadsheets
2. search to see if medical center names and/or zipcodes correspond with already found zipcodes
NSF/NIH Grants
Raw Project data is in:
E:\McNair\Projects\Federal Grant Data
Compiled Excel Data for NIH grants can be found in my Biotech Project folder in the grants section.
1. Find a way to combine all the excel data onto a couple of spreadsheets
2. search to see if medical center names and/or zipcodes correspond with already found zipcodes
Deliverables
week 3-7: put all data into a database
week 10-14: finish making the database, figure out what other data I want to pull and what data visualizations I want to make
week 17-21: look at all data, make outline
week 24-28: finish outline, write draft, edit draft
