Returns federal GRANTS and cooperative agreements from USAspending. Distinct universe from get_federal_contracts — recipients here are universities, non-profits, state and local agencies, research labs, healthcare institutions, public-private partnerships. ⚠ award_amount and total_outlays are NULLABLE. USAspending omits Total Outlays from the search response for most grants, and this tool reports that as null rather than as $0 — a 0 means the source really said zero. Null-check before doing arithmetic. Null values never satisfy min_amount and sort last. Award type codes covered: 02 (Block Grant), 03 (Formula Grant), 04 (Project Grant — most common), 05 (Cooperative Agreement). Killer query patterns: - All NIH R01 grants this quarter: cfda_number='93.847' + since=... - State and local infrastructure funding: awarding_agency='Department of Transportation' + min_amount=1000000 - Recipient-specific grant history: recipient_name='Stanford' - Recipient by federal UEI: recipient_uei='ABC123XYZ' (most precise) Source: api.usaspending.gov — official Treasury federal-spending data. Awards covering both COVID/IIJA emergency-funding codes and routine appropriations. Pure-publisher posture: raw award data, no derived rankings or performance scores. COVERAGE — live passthrough (source:'live'): each call queries USAspending's API over the full dataset (2007-10 onward), with recipient/CFDA/min-amount/date filters applied server-side. The response's `total_count` is USAspending's authoritative grant count for your filtered query — USE IT for volume answers (the `results` array is just the requested page). `total_count` is omitted — and coverage_warning says why — when USAspending cannot count the answer: a recipient_uei that is also the PARENT of other recipients (USAspending cannot filter to one UEI's own grants), recipient_name combined with recipient_uei, or a start_date window (sort_by start_date with since/until). Then has_more is true whenever the search stopped before the end. Note: live cfda_number matching is against the award's FULL assistance-listings array (awards can carry several CFDAs); the cached fallback matches the primary listing only. On USAspending outage the tool falls back to a recent cached window (source:'cache' + coverage_warning) — don't infer volume there.
