Summary:  View help for Summary Data and software code for the study "ARL Libraries and Research: Correlates of Grant Funding." For U.S. members of the Association for Research Libraries (ARL), data is combined from National Science Foundation’s National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, ARL Statistics, and IPEDS.  R code for the analysis used in the paper (including linear regression, logistic regression, and the cumulative logit model) is also provided. The models generated produce the most relevant explanatory variables for research funding, which do not include library-related variables in most cases.
