# Biomedical Grant Awards Feed

> Biomedical Grant Awards Feed is a paid API for AI agents from biomedical-grants.use.x402atlas.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-28).

Returns NIH grant awards added to RePORTER in the last N days, filterable by institute, activity code, and mechanism (SBIR/STTR/grant/contract), sorted newest first.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability biomedical-grant-awards-feed-4fa8ae31
```

Example prompt: Show me all new SBIR awards from NCI added to NIH RePORTER in the last 14 days — give me the first 20 results with award amounts and investigators.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a real-time feed of newly posted NIH awards — especially for monitoring a specific institute (NCI, NIAID, etc.) or catching new SBIR/STTR small-business awards as they appear. Prefer it over the sibling search endpoint when you want a time-bounded 'what just got funded' view rather than a keyword search across historical grants. Ideal for alerting, competitive intelligence, and portfolio monitoring workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'agency' parameter returns an error or example-mode response
- Invalid institute abbreviation returns empty results or an error
- Days value outside 1–90 range is rejected by schema validation
- Activity code not recognized by NIH RePORTER returns empty awards array
- Page number exceeding available results returns empty page
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429 status

## How this service works

NIH new awards feed — projects added to RePORTER in the last N days, newest first, filterable by institute, activity code and SBIR/STTR mechanism, with award amount, organisation and investigators. Use to monitor what NCI, NIAID or any institute just funded, or to catch new small-business awards in a field.

## Output

A paginated JSON object containing: retrieval timestamp (as_of), window start date (since), total matching records, page info, and an awards array where each entry includes application ID, project number, title, fiscal year, agency details, activity code, award type, award amount, organization, and investigators. An empty window returns a note field instead of awards.
