The U.S. government maintains an online database of federally funded research, FEDRIP (Federal Research In Progress). It doesn't contain the texts of research papers, but does include the project title, project duration, project summary, principal investigator, sponsoring organization, URL, and related data. Why isn't this database free?

Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
