Northwestern University received a $180,975 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) awarded on July 15, 2026, with completion by June 30, 2028. This award supports the enhancement and sustainability of Network Canvas, a free and open-source software platform that has been NIH-funded for nearly a decade and is currently deployed across at least 55 NIH-funded studies. The software enables researchers to design and deploy network interview protocols for capturing social network survey data across diverse research domains. The project deliverables include transitioning the software codebase to TypeScript, resolving technical debt, enhancing the protocol builder functionality, implementing offline interviewing capabilities within the cloud interview application, and expanding community engagement through improved documentation and resource development. These enhancements will strengthen the software's maintainability, security, and long-term sustainability while broadening its accessibility and utility to the international research community currently utilizing Network Canvas across multiple scientific disciplines.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
