    Sure! The data were downloaded from Grant Watch (https://grant-watch.us/nih-data.html), accessed 5/24/25. The website also includes discussion on the methods for obtaining the data that is hosted on their site: https://grant-watch.us. I looked only at terminated NIH grants to generate the word cloud, using the "flagged_words" data column. Language processing was in Matlab and I am happy to elaborate further if you are interested. I have put together a few other similar scripts for summarizing various different data aspects. Thanks!
