NIH Grant Award Scraper — Funded Researcher & Institution Leads

Find researchers and institutions that just won NIH funding. This scraper pulls National Institutes of Health grant awards from the official NIH RePORTER database and turns them into clean, structured B2B leads: project title, principal investigator, institution, department, and location.

NIH-funded researchers control real budgets for lab equipment, software, reagents, clinical services, and consulting. This actor surfaces exactly who just received funding — with the principal investigator named — so you can reach decision-makers with money to spend.

What you get per grant

• Project number and project title
• Principal investigator (PI) name — the researcher who controls the grant
• Institution / organization (university, hospital, research center)
• Department
• City, state, and country

Why use this NIH grant scraper

• Real, current funding — sourced directly from NIH RePORTER, the authoritative US biomedical grant database.
• Named decision-makers — every record names the PI, so you skip the research step.
• Target by topic — filter by keyword (e.g. cancer, genomics, machine learning), fiscal year, or activity code.
• Export anywhere — CSV, JSON, or Excel from Apify, or pull via API into your CRM.

Use cases

• Life-science & lab-equipment sales — sell to newly-funded labs.
• Research software & SaaS vendors — reach PIs with fresh grant budgets.
• CRO / clinical-services prospecting — find funded clinical and translational projects.
• Academic & grants intelligence — track funding trends in your field.
• Recruiting — funded labs hire postdocs and staff.
