The ODIn Lab - Funding Sources

The ODIn lab relies on your support, and the support of countless others to fulfill our goal of making data more accessible. We're extremely grateful to the American taxpayer and for the support we've received from Oracle and Google. In the interest of openness and data accessibility, we're publishing the scientific content of our accepted proposals -- the same content that the reviewers see.
