How this service works
Pay-per-call crypto, RWA, federal, SEC, Section 8/HUD housing, and compliance APIs via x402. Primary: USDC on Base (eip155:8453). Also accepts Global Dollar (USDG) on Robinhood Chain (eip155:4663) via sovereign X-PAYMENT-TX. Hyphen routes only (e.g. /x402/gas-tracker, /x402/pha-lookup, /x402/sec-8k). MARKETPLACE REVIEW: use free /x402/playground/* (no key, no payment). Production /x402/* returns 402 unless paid via x402 or X-Api-Market-Key / X-API-Key from seller dashboard.
Output
Returns a list of NIH grant records matching the search query, potentially including grant title, award details, funding agency/institute, fiscal year, principal investigator, and research abstract information sourced from U.S. federal NIH grant databases.
Example use cases
Grant landscape scan for research proposal
“Can you find NIH grants related to CRISPR gene editing from the NHGRI institute in fiscal year 2023? I want to understand what's already been funded before I write my proposal.”
Competitive intelligence for biotech startup
“Look up NIH grants on CAR-T cell therapy from NCI for fiscal year 2024 — I want to see who's getting federal funding in this space and for what research.”
Journalist researching federal science funding
“Search NIH grants about opioid addiction treatment — show me up to 20 results so I can see how much federal money is going toward this research area.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://mcp-x402.onrender.com/x402/nih-grantsWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic, pay-per-call access to NIH grant award data filtered by research topic, specific NIH institute, or fiscal year — especially in automated agent workflows where you want to pay only for the calls you make using USDC on Base via x402 rather than managing a subscription or API key. Prefer it over direct NIH Reporter API access when you need a simple, agent-friendly interface with built-in micropayment support.
Side effects
- Missing required 'query' parameter returns a 400 or validation error
- Payment not settled in USDC on Base via x402 results in 402 Payment Required response
- Invalid NIH institute abbreviation may return empty results or error
- Fiscal year outside available data range may return no results
- Overly broad query may return too many low-relevance results
- Service may be unavailable if the Render.com deployment is cold-started or down
