Innolyst, Inc., a leading provider of collaboration tools for not-for-profit medical research (www.researchcrossroads.com. Recognizing a need to reduce redundant efforts in the nearly $200 billion of public research performed in the U.S. over the past 15 years by 125,000 researchers at 10,000 organizations, Innolyst created ResearchCrossroads to consolidate medical research from both government and private foundations and combine this with grants and funding opportunities, with an aim of speeding the discovery of treatments.
"ResearchCrossroads connects academia, research foundations and the pharmaceutical industry in ways never before possible," says Kyle Brown, Founder of ResearchCrossroads. "Often,
scientists are conducting research that may be useful in other diseases, but there is little information sharing today. For example, many neurological disease foundations are struggling
with how to deliver treatments effectively to the brain. ResearchCrossroads connects those scientists and organizations working on similar research, speeding discovery."
Since the passing of the Freedom of Information Act, the United States Government has been required to make federally funded research data available to the public. However, the format and
accessibility of this information has made it nearly impossible to understand who is working on what research and how much is being funded. Now ResearchCrossroads consolidates data from
government sources, including: NIH CRISP, NIH funding data, ClinicalTrials.gov (http://grants.gov/), and combines this
information with grants (http://www.researchcrossroads.com/):
ResearchCrossroads manages the world's not-for-profit research. By consolidating data from government sources and combining this information with grants and funding opportunities from
private research foundations, ResearchCrossroads presents the most complete view of publicly funded medical research.
