The grants dataset covers research funding awards: title, abstract, awarding agency and branch, recipient organization, principal investigator, award amount, and award dates. Records come from sources such as NIH RePORTER and NSF and are grouped so related awards surface together. Use it to see who funds a research area, track a lab’s funding history, or spot emerging topics before they show up in publications.
Requires the evidence:grants:api scope. See the Evidence overview for how scopes work.
