Case Study: National Institutes of Health achieves faster grant data insights with DreamFactory Software

Internal APIs powering National Institutes of Health (NIH) Grant Application system

The National Institute of Health (NIH) needed a way to query historical grant application data and run analytics in its on-premises government environment without re-architecting its Microsoft SQL Server–based grant system. DreamFactory Software was contracted to connect and generate APIs for the NIH Grant Application system, giving engineers and analysts secure access to internal data through REST APIs.

Using DreamFactory Software’s API generation technology, NIH business intelligence analysts could query databases directly and build datasets for research. The solution avoided the cost of a full system rebuild and accelerated NIH’s ability to deliver insights on grant applications.
