Federal Grant Opportunities Finder

Search open and forecasted US federal grant opportunities on Grants.gov by keyword. Deadlines, award ceilings, eligibility, and synopsis for each.

What it does

• Keyword search across all federal grant opportunities listed on Grants.gov, using the official public API.
• Filter by status: posted (open for applications now), forecasted (announced but not yet open), or closed.
• Optionally enrich each opportunity with its full record: synopsis, award ceiling and floor, expected number of awards, and eligible applicant types.
• Export clean, flat records to a dataset plus an aggregate summary in OUTPUT.

Input

Field	Type	Description
keyword	string	Required. Search term matched against opportunity titles and descriptions (for example "climate resilience", "rural broadband").
oppStatuses	array	Statuses to include: posted, forecasted, closed. Default ["posted"].
includeDetails	boolean	Fetch the full record for each opportunity. Adds one extra request per opportunity. Default true.
maxItems	integer	How many opportunities to return (auto-paginated, max 200). Default 25.

Example input:

{
  "keyword": "climate resilience",
  "oppStatuses": ["posted", "forecasted"],
  "includeDetails": true,
  "maxItems": 25
}

Output

Each dataset item is one grant opportunity:

{
  "id": "363078",
  "opportunityNumber": "MUSCAT-PAS-2026-APS-01",
  "title": "Muscat - Annual Program Statement (APS)- PD Small Grants Program",
  "agency": "U.S. Mission to Oman",
  "agencyCode": "DOS-OMA",
  "status": "posted",
  "openDate": "07/08/2026",
  "closeDate": "08/09/2026",
  "cfdaNumbers": ["19.040"],
  "awardCeiling": 50000,
  "awardFloor": 1000,
  "expectedAwards": null,
  "applicantTypes": [
    "Individuals",
    "Others (see text field entitled \"Additional Information on Eligibility\" for clarification)"
  ],
  "synopsis": "The Public Diplomacy Section of U.S. Embassy Muscat announces an open competition to support projects that advance U.S. foreign policy priorities in Oman...",
  "url": "https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/363078"
}

Detail fields (awardCeiling, awardFloor, expectedAwards, applicantTypes, synopsis) are null or empty when includeDetails is false, and null where the agency did not publish a value. The synopsis is plain text, truncated to 2000 characters.

The run's default key-value store record OUTPUT holds a summary: total matches on Grants.gov, items returned, and a breakdown by status.
