Search US National Science Foundation awards by keyword or institution. Funding amounts, PIs, programs, dates, and abstracts from the official NSF API.

What it does

  • Searches NSF awards by keyword (matched against titles and abstracts), by awardee institution, or both.
  • Returns funding amounts, principal investigators, funding programs, start and expiration dates, and truncated abstracts.
  • Paginates automatically (25 awards per API page) until maxItems is reached or there are no more matches, deduplicating by award ID.
  • Writes clean, flat records to a dataset plus an aggregate summary (total obligated dollars, state breakdown) to the OUTPUT record.

Input

FieldTypeDescription
keywordstringSearch term matched against award titles and abstracts, for example "battery recycling". Provide this, awardeeName, or both.
awardeeNamestringAwardee institution name, for example "Stanford University". Multi-word names are matched as an exact phrase.
maxItemsintegerHow many awards to return (auto-paginated, max 500). Default 25.

Example:

{
"keyword": "battery recycling",
"maxItems": 25
}

Output

Each dataset item is one award:

{
"awardId": "2541867",
"title": "CAREER: Autonomous AI Agents for Translational Multidisciplinary Design Optimization",
"awardee": "Iowa State University",
"city": "AMES",
"state": "IA",
"amountUsd": 549499,
"program": "EDSE-Engineering Design and Sy",
"piName": "Ping He",
"startDate": "09/01/2026",
"expDate": "08/31/2031",
"awardedDate": "06/29/2026",
"abstract": "This Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) project supports integrated research and education focused on creating autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agents...",
"url": "https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2541867"
}

Abstracts are truncated to 1500 characters. The run's OUTPUT key-value record holds a summary with the query, the number of awards returned, the total obligated dollars, and a per-state breakdown.

Pricing

Pay per result, plus standard Apify platform usage.

Data source

The official NSF Award Search API at api.nsf.gov (no API key required). The API caps page size at 25 records and does not return a total match count, so the Actor paginates until it sees a short page or reaches maxItems. Dates use the API's MM/DD/YYYY format.
