CRISP Downloads - Readme.txt

****************************

 

CRISP downloadable files located at URL "http://era.nih.gov/crisp-export/" are described below; including name of file, format, data selection criteria, and names of organizations that use the files.

 

Downloadable files are recreated monthly, replacing previous versions of the files.  Each new version progressively contains data accummulatd from beginning of the fiscal year (FY).  Content of files is FY specifc. That is, multiple FYs are not combined in same file.

 

By convention, file names are described with having "yyyy" as place holder for Fiscal Year (FY). Additionally, there are four distinctive file formats (described below) labeled "FORMAT1" through "FORMAT4" that are indicated in the file names. For example, actual file name for "CRISP-FORMAT1-yyyy.DAT.gz" FY2003 data would be "CRISP-FORMAT1-2003.DAT.gz". Files are compressed using PKZip technology.
