Research Funding & Hub Impact
Where research dollars and opportunities are concentrated around the hubs we serve — practical context for visiting researchers, fellows, postdocs, and interns deciding where to live.
Why this matters for visiting researchers
Research funding concentration is a useful signal when you’re planning a research stay. Where awards, fellowships, and open opportunities cluster tends to track where labs are hiring trainees — and where demand for short-term housing, sublets, and roommates is highest. This is background context to help you settle in faster, not a funding database.

Methodology & sources
This section summarizes publicly available federal research-funding information to give visiting researchers context about the hubs we serve. Where institution matching is reliable, we show a few recent live examples pulled at runtime from the official sources (cached and refreshed periodically) — recent examples, not complete totals. We link to each official source for the full, current data; figures are not endorsed by, and do not originate from, the named agencies or institutions.
