How this service works
Find federally funded R&D projects by technology topic across NIH RePORTER and NSF. Give a keyword such as a mechanism, disease area or technology and get a ranked list of funded projects with the recipient organization, principal investigator, agency, amount, year and abstract, for competitor-landscape mapping and lead generation. Bounded scan with a coverage note.
Output
A ranked list of federally funded R&D projects matching the keyword, each including recipient organization, principal investigator name, funding agency and sub-agency, award amount, fiscal year, and project abstract. A coverage note describing the bounded scope of the scan is also returned.
Example use cases
Biotech competitive landscape mapping
“Find all federally funded projects related to mRNA therapeutics across NIH and NSF — give me up to 25 results with the PI, organization, funding amount, and abstract so I can see who the key players are.”
SBIR Phase II grant prospecting
“Search for SBIR Phase II awards from NIH focused on AI-based medical imaging diagnostics — show me the recipients, amounts, and abstracts for the most recent fiscal year.”
Disease-area funding gap analysis
“Look up federally funded R&D projects on antibiotic-resistant bacteria from NIAID for 2022 — I want to see who's funded, how much they got, and their project abstracts to identify gaps in the field.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://payai.agentstools.dev/funding/searchWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to map the competitive R&D funding landscape across NIH and NSF for a given technology, disease area, or mechanism. It is ideal for lead generation, competitor intelligence, grant prospecting, and identifying key investigators and institutions in a field. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, structured grant-level data with amounts and abstracts rather than news or publication data.
Side effects
- Keyword too broad returns up to limit cap with coverage note warning
- No results found for niche or misspelled keywords
- Agency filter doesn't match any known sub-agency strings, returning empty agency-filtered set
- Year filter outside available data range returns empty results
- NIH RePORTER or NSF upstream data unavailability causing partial results
