BIS RESEARCH FUNDING EXPLORER
This is a very impressive piece of work and highlights the great potential of linking data. Well done BIS and Talis for leading the way. J H Wright - UK researcher

This prototype currently only covers Great Britain, not the whole United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Maybe BIS thinks there is no innovation west of the Irish Sea!
Seriously, it would help if submitters, in their descriptions, made clear the geographical and subject limits of their applications. Some will be local, some limited to one nation. That's OK, just tell us up front.
