# Federal R&D Funding Profile

> Federal R&D Funding Profile is a paid API for AI agents from payai.agentstools.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.03/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns a complete federal R&D funding profile for a company, organization, or principal investigator by fusing NIH RePORTER, NSF, and SBIR/STTR public records, including all awards, amounts, agencies, tech clusters, and computed aggregates.

## 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-funding-profile-0fd7f435
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the full federal R&D funding profile for Moderna — I want to see all their NIH, NSF, and SBIR awards, the total non-dilutive funding they've received, a breakdown by agency and year, and what technology areas they've been funded in?

## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, cross-agency federal funding history for a single company, organization, or PI — especially when you want pre-computed aggregates (total non-dilutive funding, agency breakdowns, technology clusters) without manually querying NIH RePORTER, NSF Award Search, and SBIR.gov separately. Best for due diligence on startups, competitive intelligence, academic hiring decisions, or grant landscape analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Entity not found — company, organization, or PI name doesn't match any records in NIH RePORTER, NSF, or SBIR/STTR databases
- Ambiguous name — multiple entities match the provided name, returning merged or incorrect results
- No awards in filtered range — min_year or agencies filter excludes all results, returning empty award list
- Payment required — x402 payment of $0.03 USDC must be completed before data is returned
- Rate limiting or upstream data source unavailability causing delayed or partial results

## How this service works

Received R&D-funding profile of a company, organization or principal investigator, fused from NIH RePORTER, NSF and SBIR/STTR public records. Give a company or organization or PI name and get every federal research award it received with amounts, agencies, years, tech focus and abstracts, plus computed aggregates: total non-dilutive funding, breakdown by agency and by year, technology clusters, and active-award count.

## Output

A structured funding profile containing a list of every federal research award received (with award amounts, agency, sub-agency, fiscal year, tech focus, and abstract), plus computed aggregates: total non-dilutive funding received, funding breakdown by agency, funding breakdown by year, technology clusters, and count of currently active awards.
