Nice work! I hear about these challenges in collaborating on research all the time. Developing a platform like this is a significant investment for most teams, and for many, the development and maintenance is a distraction from their mission. The company I work for, Domino Data Lab, has a language/ algorithm-agnostic platform that solves for this. We have a trial for teams who want to take a look and offer a free subscription for academic institutions.

I'd love to know as well. There's a lot of great data on doctors in the US at data.cms.gov and data.medicare.gov. Socrata, the company I work for, builds and hosts the APIs so let me know if I can help in any way!

Probably because of the way government contracting works with (value added) resellers. One such is "Carahsoft" (see http://openbeta-contracts-explorer.usaspending.gov/#!/year/A...). If you dig into the details of the transactions you'll see that many are for technology companies' software and services. One example link that includes Salesforce, HP, VMWare, Symantec, etc.: http://openbeta-contracts-explorer.usaspending.gov/#!/year/A...

A lot of this data can also be browsed by mere mortals at http://openbeta-contracts-explorer.usaspending.gov/ . More information is available at https://openbeta.usaspending.gov/ too.

Pretty cool. Haven't gotten it fully working yet (posted an issue on github) but thanks for sharing!

Consider checking out US Dept of Commerce's Census of Governments - it has a lot of information. There's also a big trend of state/local governments opening their budgets and expenditures to the public in new and engaging ways. Some examples:
- http://www.checkbooknyc.com/
- http://budget.dallasopendata.com/#!/year/default
- http://miamidade.budget.finance.socrata.com/#!/year/default
- http://budget.topeka.org/#!/year/default
* Disclaimer: I work for Socrata which powers all of the above links except for NYC Checkbook

What type of civic technology/innovation?
Typically, the ecosystem around open data is much more forthcoming and, well, open. Consider checking out http://slack.opendatacommunity.io/
