## 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-lookup-5a347fd8
```

Example prompt: Pull the full federal R&D funding profile for Moderna — I want to see every NIH, NSF, and SBIR award they've received since 2010, with amounts, agency breakdown, and what technologies the grants focus on.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a consolidated view of federal non-dilutive R&D funding for due diligence, competitive intelligence, or PI research profiling. It is specifically suited for fusing NIH RePORTER, NSF, and SBIR/STTR into a single aggregated profile rather than querying each government database separately. Prefer it over manual database searches when you need computed aggregates, technology clustering, and abstracts in one response.

## Known failure modes

- No matching entity found for the given company/organization/PI name — returns empty result or low-confidence match
- Ambiguous name matches multiple entities — may return blended or best-guess results
- Data lag: awards from very recent fiscal years may not yet appear in source databases
- Agency filter typo returns no results if agency code doesn't match internal taxonomy
- Rate limit or payment failure returns 402 or 429 error

## 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: list of all matched federal awards with titles, amounts, fiscal years, funding agencies, sub-agencies, and abstracts; computed aggregates including total non-dilutive funding received, per-agency and per-year breakdowns, identified technology clusters across awards, and count of currently active awards.
