description

Analyze NIH grant portfolios and funding history using the OpenNIH FY1985-present corpus, then connect grants to investigators, institutions, publications, clinical trials, patents, targets, or drugs with ToolUniverse. Use for NIH grant discovery, topic or Institute/Center trends, PI and institution profiles, activity-code or mechanism analysis, funding growth and concentration, grant-writing landscape research, SBIR/STTR landscapes, research-policy analysis, expert discovery, funding-to-output translational impact studies, or public-facing NIH explainers for patients, advocates, local and national journalists, trainees, applicants, institutions, entrepreneurs, and taxpayers.

NIH Funding Landscape

Build source-traceable NIH funding analyses with explicit scopes, count units, data coverage, and interpretation limits. Use OpenNIH_* for funding facts and other ToolUniverse sources only for downstream evidence they actually cover.

Always read references/tool-reference.md before choosing tools or comparing totals. Read references/verified-cases.md when testing the skill, debugging an unexpected response, or adapting one of the verified case patterns. Read references/public-value-cases.md for a patient, family, advocate, journalist, trainee, applicant, taxpayer, policy, or other public-facing request.

Public Value Routing

Start from the reader's decision, not from the available endpoints:

Reader	Optimize the answer for	Never imply
Patient, family, advocate	A topic-specific research map, recent activity, inspectable projects, and next contacts	Clinical expertise, quality of care, treatment advice, or patient benefit from funding alone
Journalist, taxpayer, policy analyst	A reproducible headline number, its definition, its largest drivers, and its sensitivity to alternate queries
