Who funds research on a topic, which universities and companies receive NIH money, and an SBIR/STTR early-stage biotech signal. Filter by org (funded organization, partial match), keyword (matched over title, abstract, and RePORTER terms), fiscal_year, min_award, is_sbir_sttr, activity_code (grant mechanism, e.g. R01/R44/F32), institute, pi_name, or org_state. org_uei joins to contracts; org/PI names join to clinical trials and patents.
