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 federal-r-d-award-lookup-by-id-07b7ced5
```

Example prompt: Pull up the full details for NIH project number 1R01CA123456-01 — I need the title, abstract, funding amount, dates, principal investigators, and any linked PubMed publications.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need full structured details for a single known federal R&D award and already have the award ID and source. It is ideal for enriching grant records, verifying award details, retrieving abstracts for NIH/NSF/SBIR grants, or linking awards to publications. Prefer this over general web search when you need clean, normalized, machine-readable grant data at low cost per record.

## Known failure modes

- Award ID not found in the specified source — returns error indicating the record does not exist
- Invalid source enum value (not nih, nsf, or sbir) — returns validation error
- Missing required query parameters id or source — returns 400-level error
- Source and ID mismatch (e.g. NSF ID passed with source=nih) — returns not found or empty result
- Upstream federal database unavailable — may return 503 or timeout

## How this service works

Fetch one federal R&D award as a normalized record with its full abstract. Give the award identifier and its source (NIH project number, NSF award id, or SBIR award) and get the title, complete abstract, agency, amount, dates, principal investigators, organization and technology terms, plus for NIH the linked publication PubMed ids. Cheap single-record pull.

## Output

A normalized record containing the award title, complete abstract, funding agency, dollar amount, start and end dates, principal investigator names, awardee organization, technology/topic terms, and (for NIH awards) a list of linked PubMed publication IDs.
