## Capabilities

- [Project](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/reporter-nih-gov/research-grants/project): One project record by application id, full project number or RePORTER URL: title, abstract, public health relevance, RCDC terms, PIs with profile ids, program officers, organization with UEI and location, institute, award amount with direct/indirect costs and per-institute funding, budget and project dates, opportunity number and study section.
- [Publications](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/reporter-nih-gov/research-grants/publications): PubMed IDs of publications that acknowledge a core project (POST /v2/publications/search), newest first, with the citing application id. A known project without linked papers returns an empty list; an unknown core project number is not_found.
- [Search projects](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/reporter-nih-gov/research-grants/search_projects): Search funded research projects (POST /v2/projects/search). Combine free text over titles, abstracts and terms with PI name or profile id, organization, state, fiscal years, agencies and activity codes. Returns one page of project-year records with PIs, organization, administering institute, award amount and dates, plus the total and next_offset.

  "abstract": "Abstract (Overall):\nPancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a deadly disease whose mechanisms of development remain\nincompletely understood. Evidence suggests that pancreatic cancers may arise from acinar cells undergoing a\nprocess called acinar to ductal metaplasia (ADM) or from ductal cells to give rise to Pancreatic Intraepithelial\nNeoplasias (PanINs). How mutations or combinations of mutations promote PDAC development and the role of\ninflammation in the process still remains unclear. Moreover, interactions between immune cells, cancer-\nassociated fibroblasts (CAFs) and cancer cells can promote PDAC development and progression, but much\nremains to be learned about how signaling between cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) affects the stem\ncell compartment (`stemness') thought to underlie PDAC development and promotes immune evasion. Thus,\nmultiple questions about fundamental mechanisms governing PDAC development persist.\nTo address these challenges, our superb and highly interactive team will identify genetic and stromal (immune\ncells and CAFs) interactions and pathways that regulate the inception and progression of PDAC using innovative\nmouse models and human tissue-based approaches. We propose three Projects to address the following overall\naims:\n1. Identify the originating cell(s) and deconstruct genetic pathways underlying PDAC initiation\n2. Discover immune signals that cross-talk with epithelial cells and CAFs to promote pancreas cancer\ndevelopment and stemness\n3. Investigate the impact of tumor genetics on PDAC immunobiology and response to macrophage-targeted\nimmunotherapy\nEffort on these projects will be organized through an Administrative and Biostatistics Core (A) and empowered\nby two Research Cores, focused on human tissue procurement (Core B), and use of high-dimensional imaging\nto measure cell and signaling interactions in tissues (CODEX; Core C).\nThe participating investigators on this P01 lead teams that have collaborated productively for years and have\ngenerated compelling preliminary data that support the potential for unraveling the genetic and immune signaling\nmechanisms underlying PDAC development, and developing new immunotherapeutic strategies for PDAC,\nwhich has proven frustratingly resistant to immuno-based therapies.\nOur studies should broadly impact pancreas cancer biology and importantly, elucidate the reciprocal interactions\nbetween immune and non-immune compartments (epithelial, CAFs) in shaping the tumor microenvironment\nduring disease evolution. accelerate discovery of novel diagnostic or preventive strategies for early-stage\ndisease, or therapeutics for advanced PDAC.",

### Publications

- Capability: `research-grants/publications`
- Description: PubMed IDs of publications that acknowledge a core project (POST /v2/publications/search), newest first, with the citing application id. A known project without linked papers returns an empty list; an unknown core project number is not_found.
- Instructions: List the papers a grant produced; fetch their titles and abstracts from PubMed with the PMIDs.
- Cost: 5 credits per call
- Capability file: [Publications](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/reporter-nih-gov/research-grants/publications)

Accepted options:
- `core_project_num` (string, required): Core project number, e.g. P01CA244114. A full project number such as 5P01CA244114-05 is reduced to its core. Pattern: ^\s*[A-Za-z0-9-]+\s*$. Example: `<core_project_num>`
- `limit` (number): limit Example: `25`
- `offset` (number): Rows to skip; pass next_offset from the previous page. RePORTER pages no further than offset 9,999. Example: `0`

Response schema example:
```json

### Search projects

- Capability: `research-grants/search_projects`
- Description: Search funded research projects (POST /v2/projects/search). Combine free text over titles, abstracts and terms with PI name or profile id, organization, state, fiscal years, agencies and activity codes. Returns one page of project-year records with PIs, organization, administering institute, award amount and dates, plus the total and next_offset.
- Instructions: Find NIH grants for a topic, a researcher or an institution; get appl_id for project and core_project_num for publications.
- Cost: 5 credits per call
- Capability file: [Search projects](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/reporter-nih-gov/research-grants/search_projects)

Accepted options:
- `activity_codes` (string[]): NIH activity codes, e.g. ["R01", "R21", "P01"]. Example: `[]`
- `agencies` (string[]): Administering or funding institute/agency abbreviations, e.g. ["NCI", "NIGMS", "AHRQ"]. Example: `[]`
- `exclude_subprojects` (boolean): Drop the component subprojects of multi-project awards (P01, U54, ...) and keep their parent records. Example: `false`
- `fiscal_years` (number[]): Federal fiscal years of the award records, e.g. [2024, 2025]. Example: `[]`
- `limit` (number): Projects per page. Example: `10`
- `offset` (number): Rows to skip; pass next_offset from the previous page with the same criteria. RePORTER pages no further than offset 14,999. Example: `0`
- `org_name` (string): Funded organization name; RePORTER matches it as a prefix/wildcard ("Stanford" also matches "Stanford Research Institute") unless org_name_exact is true. Example: `<org_name>`
- `org_name_exact` (boolean): Match org_name exactly as RePORTER spells it, e.g. "STANFORD UNIVERSITY". Requires org_name. Example: `false`
- `org_states` (string[]): Organization state or territory codes, e.g. ["CA", "MA"]. Example: `[]`
- `pi_name` (string): Principal investigator name, partial match on any name part, e.g. "Seung K Kim" or "Attardi". Example: `<pi_name>`
- `pi_profile_id` (number): RePORTER PI profile id from a previous result: every project of exactly that investigator. Example: `10`
- `sort` (string): sort Example: `relevance`
- `sort_order` (string): Applies to every sort except relevance. Example: `desc`
- `text` (string): Words searched in project titles, abstracts and RCDC terms. All words must match by default; wrap a phrase in double quotes for an exact match. Example: `<text>`
- `text_fields` (string[]): Limit the text search to these fields (default all three). Requires text. Example: `[]`
- `text_operator` (string): How text words combine: and (all words), or (any word), advanced (RePORTER boolean syntax). Requires text. Example: `and`
