Apply for free research data access
Dewey’s Research Data Grant program is officially open! We’re offering free research team subscriptions to five selected teams, unlocking the Dewey platform for up to two years or until their research project is submitted for publication.
This opportunity is perfect for academic researchers in disciplines like business, economics, marketing, geography, urban planning, and beyond who need access to research data. If your project could benefit from mobility, consumer spend, weather, company data, or more, apply below!

Back by popular demand
Last year’s grant program drew more than 100 submissions from 86 research universities. From forecasting company performance with web traffic to analyzing State Park visitation trends, your work inspired us and reinforced just how essential accessible, high-quality data is to academic research.
This year, with ongoing budget uncertainty hitting researchers especially hard, we’re especially motivated. Dewey exists solely to support academic research, and offering these grants is one of the clearest ways we can show up for this community.
We are grateful to have received access to company data through the Dewey grant program. For researchers, quality data is often the hardest part to secure, and Dewey is helping remove that obstacle. We are looking forward to uncovering the insights this access can unlock and for furthering our partnership in the future. - Arpit Agrawal, 2024 Grant Recipient, University of Houston

- Team - Research data grants cover all team members collaborating on one specific research project. Data shall not be shared outside of the team and must be deleted at the end of the term
- Duration - Up to 24 months to submit for publication using the data, we will work with you on this and understand publication timelines are hard to predict
- Publication Status - We’ve love to help along the way! Keep us updated on the status of your paper so we can answer questions and ultimately help promote your work
