Overview

This node operation allows users to search for research grants across multiple grant databases such as Grants.gov, NIH RePORTER, CORDIS, and UKRI. It is useful for researchers, academic institutions, and grant seekers who want to find funding opportunities by querying specific keywords, filtering by deadlines, funding amounts, and selecting which fields to return in the results. For example, a researcher looking for healthcare-related machine learning grants can specify the query and filter results by deadline and funding range.

Use Case Examples

  1. Searching for grants related to 'machine learning healthcare' across multiple providers with a limit of 10 results per provider.
  2. Filtering grants with deadlines between 2025-01-01 and 2025-12-31 and funding amounts between $50,000 and $500,000.
