I made a post about this earlier but it was just the raw data from NSF.

This article in Nature includes significant discussion about NSF GRFPs, their history, and trends over time. So hopefully this isn't seen as too duplicative.

EDIT: removed sentence about Research.gov data no longer available. New URL fixed in item above.
