The data files underlying RePORTER include information on projects funded by NIH and other agencies of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In addition to detailed information on each project, files are available with information on publications and patents that have acknowledged support from these projects. In addition to the RePORTER project, publication, and patent data sets (as well as tables providing the linkages between these data sets), ExPORTER provides access to data exported from the NIH CRISP system, a predecessor to RePORTER.

The information found in RePORTER is drawn from several extant databases–eRA databases, Medline, PubMed Central, the NIH Intramural Database, and iEdison–using newly-formed linkages among these disparate data sources. RePORTER includes information on research projects funded by the NIH as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Administration for Children and Family (ACF), and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). RePORTER also includes links to publications and patents citing support from these projects. T
