The Research
Intelligence Platform
Moonbase aggregates 2.4M+ federally-funded research projects, scores each for commercial potential using the Moonbase Score™, and makes the results open to the world.
Federal research is hard to find.
We changed that.
Every year the U.S. government funds over $150 billion in research. Most of it is buried in siloed databases — inaccessible to the tech transfer offices, investors, and R&D teams who could act on it. Moonbase changes that.
Aggregated
2.4M+ awards from 6 authoritative federal databases, refreshed daily.
Scored
Every project gets a Moonbase Score™ — a five-dimensional composite read on commercial potential.
