About Research.gov
from our crawl and measurement
Research.gov is a business whose own site puts it this way: "NSF's Research.gov is where to prepare and submit proposals, manage awards, and participate in reviews and panels." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is partially visible, scoring 5.5 out of 10, readable in places, missing in others.
Our crawl found a readable heading structure. It also found the gaps that keep answer engines guessing: structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file, a sitemap.
