• principal investigator(s) and the contact PI

Search and filter

{
    "searchText": ["crispr gene editing"],
    "fiscalYears": ["2025", "2024"],
    "sortBy": "award_desc"
}

• searchText - keywords across titles, abstracts and terms (one search per line)
• organizations - specific institutions ("STANFORD UNIVERSITY", "MAYO CLINIC")
• principalInvestigators - grants led by named researchers
• states / fiscalYears / minAwardUsd - narrow by location, year and size

You can search by keyword, browse an institution's or a researcher's whole portfolio, or combine them.

Who uses this

• Universities and research institutions: track funding in your field, see what peers are winning, find the money behind a topic.
• Research, biotech and pharma firms: map who funds what, identify key investigators, spot emerging areas before they are crowded.
• Business development and consultants: build lists of funded labs as customers or partners, with award sizes attached.
• Students, librarians and journalists: study how research money flows, by topic, institution or year.
