Frequently asked questions

Does it include co-investigators and their emails?

Yes. Each record lists the primary PI plus every co-PI name and email that is published for the award.

Can I get every award for one university or one state?

Yes. Add institution names or two-letter state codes and the actor sweeps each one, paginating the full result set up to your Max Awards.

Can I limit by date?

Yes. Set a start-date range (MM/DD/YYYY) to keep only awards that began within that window.

How fresh is the data?

Awards are read live at run time, so each record reflects the latest published values (see observedAt).
