Public award records

Current awards run through July 2027 — about under a year of funding on record from today. Awards are often renewed, so this is what is currently public, not a forecast.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
