Search official NIH RePORTER research-award administrative metadata by topic, institution and fiscal year. Returns bounded project and annual award amounts, dates, investigators, organization identifiers and official project links, with source hashes and explicit limits; abstracts and contact details are excluded.
https://apiacre.com/v1/research/nih-grant-searchSend the JSON body below. An unpaid request returns HTTP 402 with a PAYMENT-REQUIRED header; an x402-compatible buyer signs the requirement and retries with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.
Pay $0.005 USDC and run in your browserCoinbase Agentic Wallet can satisfy this x402 request in one command. Running it may pay automatically, so --max-amount is fixed to $0.005 USDC in atomic units. Copying the command does not install, authenticate, sign, or pay; review the request and use a separate low-value wallet before running it.

Review official ROR institution candidates, then search NIH RePORTER awards using a caller-confirmed organization name, topic and fiscal year. The two registries provide separate evidence and are not automatically linked.
