## 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 gocreative-nih-grants-search-cd699ccc
```

Example prompt: Search NIH grants for 'climate change and health' and show me which institutions are getting funded, how much, and who the principal investigators are.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to find real NIH grant data by topic keyword — ideal for researchers, grant writers, journalists, or AI agents that need to identify who is federally funded in a given research domain. Prefer over general web search when you need structured, queryable grant data from official NIH sources.

## Known failure modes

- No grants found for obscure or misspelled keyword — returns empty grants array with count 0
- Network timeout for very broad queries returning large result sets
- 402 Payment Required if USDC payment not included or insufficient
- Invalid or missing 'input' query parameter returns 400 error

## How this service works

Keyless, pay-per-call compliance & regulated-data API for AI agents — OFAC wallet + sanctions/PEP + KYB screening, SEC filings, FRED economics, FDA recalls, federal awards, plus continuous monitoring. USDC on Base/Solana via x402, native MCP. No API key, no signup.

## Output

Returns a list of NIH grant records matching the search keyword, each including project title, institution name, city, state, fiscal year, award amount in USD, project number, and principal investigator name. Also returns total count of matching grants.
