Search research grants from the scite grants database (NIH RePORTER, NSF, SBIR/STTR, Wellcome, EU, and more). Use this tool to find grants by research topic, PI, organization, agency, or funding keywords. Returns grants with title, a short abstract preview, agency, organization, PI, country, dates, awardAmount, tags, and externalLink. Highlighted `<strong>...</strong>` fragments indicate which fields matched the query. **Grouping.** Resolute groups related grants under one shared slug (e.g. NIH subprojects of one center grant, or renewals of the same award). Each search result returns **only one representative grant** per group. `grantsInGroup` tells you how many total grants exist in the group; `siblingGrantIds` (when present) lists the other grant ids in the group. To pull the full record for a specific sibling, call `get_grant` with its id — do not re-search. **Abstract in search is a ~300-char highlighted preview, not the full text.** Call `get_grant` when you need the full abstract (often 1-3 KB) or source-specific identifiers (`awardYear`, `agencyTrackingNumber`, `contract`, `nihProgramCode`, `nihrApplicationId`). If the search result already contains the fields you need, do not call `get_grant`. **Parameters:** - q: Search query string (keywords, PI name, organization, agency, etc.) - f: Space-delimited filters in `field:"value"` format (e.g. `agency:"NIH" country:"United States"`) - p: Page number (default: 1) - s: Sort field (default: _relevance). Options: - _relevance: relevance score (sortDir ignored) - awardStartDate: grant start date - awardCloseDate: grant close date - awardNoticeDate: grant notice date - awardAmount: total award amount - employeeCount: PI employee count - sortDir: Sort direction, asc or desc (default: desc). Ignored when s is _relevance. **Returns:** Grants with id, title, abstract snippet, agency, organization, piName, country, award dates, awardAmount, tags, groupSlug, and grantsInGroup.
