Tools

• get_project ~138 tokens
  Fetch one NIH project application record by application ID (numeric, distinct from project number). Returns its complete abstract, public-health relevance, terms, PIs, organization, dates, and award amount. Use nih_grant_award_history for multi-year award history.
• nih_funding_concentration ~214 tokens
  Summarize NIH award dollars and record counts by fiscal year, recipient organization, contact PI, activity code, and funding mechanism for a bounded topic, organization, or PI search. Results disclose truncation and represent reported federal obligations—not valuation, revenue, or total research spe
• nih_funding_expirations ~181 tokens
  Find active NIH projects matching a topic or organization whose current project period is scheduled to end soon. Treat the end date as a monitoring cue only—it can be extended, renewed, supplemented, or updated and does not prove a funding cliff.
• nih_grant_award_history Changes accounts · ~165 tokens
  Build the annual NIH award history for one core project number, including award, direct/indirect cost, budget dates, application type, and cumulative reported funding. Annual award amounts are obligations for each fiscal year—not company revenue, cash received, or guaranteed future funding.
• nih_grant_publication_summary Changes accounts · ~157 tokens
  Count publications linked by NIH RePORTER to a core project number and return a bounded PMID sample. Publication linkage reflects acknowledged grant support; it is not a citation-impact, product-readiness, or causal-attribution measure.
• nih_new_grant_awards Changes accounts · ~326 tokens
  Find recently issued NIH awards, optionally restricted to new competing applications, topic, organization, state, institute, activity code, or SBIR/STTR. Useful for financing and emerging-program monitoring; an award notice does not establish commercial validation or future funding.
• nih_sbir_company_portfolio ~195 tokens
  Summarize an organization’s NIH SBIR/STTR award portfolio by core project, fiscal year, activity code, and PI. Organization matching is wildcard-based; verify recipient identity and note that reported award amounts are federal obligations, not revenue or unrestricted cash.
• search_grants ~600 tokens
  Search NIH-funded research projects. Filter by free-text query (topic/subject matter — matches title/abstract/terms, NOT the awardee), PI name, organization (the funded company/university/institution — use THIS, not query, for "what grants has <company/university> received"), fiscal year, US state,
• search_publications ~220 tokens
  Search publications acknowledging NIH funding. Filter by PMID, application ID, or core project number. Useful for "what came out of this grant" follow-ups.
