==Project Description==

This project revolves around examining Medical Centers and viewing their research to see how innovative it is and whether or not Medical Centers in the U.S. are using the grants and money they receive to discover and create new treatments and services. For this project, I plan on collecting data on patents, NIH and NSF grants, and clinical trial data based on zipcodes of medical centers to show how much innovation occurs in these centers. For each research dataset, I plan on finding how many of each type of event (patent, trial, grant) is filed under each zipcode. At this time, I have all the raw data for each research dataset and am going through using regular expressions, I plan on finding out how many matches I have by the end of this week (March 23). After examining these results, I will decide how to present the data and create a paper around it.

Catherine matched patents, grants, and clinical trials to Medical Centers. She is currently working on putting all the data into a database.
