The nonprofit National Priorities Project has launched State Smart, a data and visualization resource that allows users to track how federal funding moves through states. The site, which brings together a variety of data sources, was created in an attempt to recreate the Census Bureau’s discontinued Consolidated Federal Funds Report. In addition to making up the visualizations and analysis offered on the site, the constituent data sets are also available for download.
