The CRISP system has been replaced by the RePORT Expenditures and Results (RePORTER) query tool. This new tool retains all of the features of CRISP while providing additional query fields, hit lists that can be sorted and downloaded to Excel, NIH funding for each project (expenditures), and the publications and patents that have acknowledged support from each project (results). RePORTER also provides links to PubMed Central, PubMed, and the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office Patent Full-Text and Image Database for more information on research results. If you have any questions, or would like to make a suggestion for new features, there is a "Write to Help Desk" button at the bottom of the PubMed Central and PubMed websites.
