Ask anything RTI has published, funded, or done

The map is everything the brain holds. Ask, and watch it search: every lookup lights the part it read, and the answer arrives with its sources placed.

Enter asks. Click any area, funder or agency on the map to ask about it, or press the orb and say it.

Not in it yet: proposals, project records, staffing and utilization. They sit behind RTI’s login, and they are what turns “who has done this work” into “who could take this on in November.”

Focus areas indexed

The map above as a list: 8 categories and 50sub-areas from rti.org’s own site structure, the expert topics with eight or more people, the funders, the agencies and the peers. Each one puts a question in the box.

Loading the list of areas.

Where the map is honest: category-to-area lines are rti.org’s taxonomy; area-to-funder lines are the areas each funder is mentioned with in RTI’s news; peer lines are a hand-curated overlap list. No line joins an agency to an area or a person, because the award record does not say which area an award funded or who worked on it.

What public material could go in next

  • Grants.gov and SAM.gov open opportunities

    Which live solicitations match work RTI has already delivered.

  • Conference programs and presentations

  • Peer institute award records

  • Patent and licensing records

    What RTI holds and what is available to license.

3,662 of the federal awards above come from the ten agencies that fund RTI most.
