In 2009, ChalkLabs was hired to help the National Institutes of Health (NIH) analyze their $26 bn dollar portfolio of grants. The NIH wanted to learn more about which institutes were performing what types of research and whether there were gaps or overlaps in funding, research, and personnel. They wanted to do this in a way that captured the semantics across subject areas regardless of the title of a given grant. ChalkLabs created a novel portfolio analysis tool whereby administrators, analysts, or researchers can quickly search, navigate, cross-reference, visualize, and export their large-scale data analyses in a web-based, real-time, easy-to-use, intiutive fashion.
