National Institutes of Health (NIH RePORTER) · Tier-1 · research-only (never on individual profiles)
NIH RePORTER is the National Institutes of Health's database of federally funded research projects, recording grant awards, principal investigators, awardee organizations, and fiscal-year funding. The schema and provenance contract are live; the first ingest snapshot is pending, so the table currently holds 0 rows.
How this source shows up on Fonteum.
Tier-1 research-only context for studies on research activity and grant-funding networks. Will surface project title, fiscal year, award amount, principal investigators, and awardee organization at the aggregate level. Records are name-keyed (PIs by name; awardee org as affiliation); there is no NPI in the source, and NPI / entity-graph linkage is deferred — ambiguous matches are held.
What this source does NOT mean
A RePORTER record describes a funded research project — it does not measure provider quality, outcomes, or endorsement, and a named PI is not a Fonteum-asserted identity match to any specific provider profile. A grant award is not a Fonteum assessment.
Research and data questions this source supports.
- Build a research dataset of federally funded NIH projects by institute, fiscal year, or awardee organization.
- Analyze grant-funding and research-activity networks at the aggregate, name-keyed level.
- Track award amounts and project volume by awardee organization over fiscal years.
- Combine grant-funding signals with ClinicalTrials.gov study activity for research-landscape studies.

Research-only — never on profiles
5 fieldsWhat we can’t infer from this source.
- First ingest snapshot pending — the table currently holds 0 rows. Figures will populate once the operator runs the ingest.
- Tier-1 — aggregate research context only; never rendered on individual provider profiles.
- Name-keyed: PIs are recorded by name and awardee organization as affiliation. There is no NPI in the source.
- NPI / entity-graph linkage is deferred; ambiguous name matches are held, not written.

Common questions about NIH RePORTER.
- What is NIH RePORTER?
- NIH RePORTER is the National Institutes of Health's public database of federally funded research projects. Each record carries a project title, fiscal year, award amount, principal investigators, and the awardee organization.
- How much data does this dataset hold?
- 179,957 funded-award records across fiscal years 2024–2026 — 81,521 distinct projects and roughly $98.8 billion in award dollars — as of the 2026-06-14 snapshot. The NIH RePORTER API v2 caps results per window, so large fiscal years are pulled by organization-state subdivision with logged coverage gaps.
- Are principal investigators linked to provider profiles?
- No. RePORTER records are name-keyed — PIs are recorded by name and the awardee as an organization affiliation, with no NPI in the source. NPI / entity-graph linkage is deferred; a named PI is not a Fonteum-asserted identity match to any specific provider profile.
- Does a grant award indicate provider quality?
- No. A RePORTER record describes a funded research project. A grant award is not a measurement of clinical quality or outcomes, and it is not a Fonteum assessment of any provider.
- How can I cite this data?
- Use the attribution 'Source: NIH RePORTER (National Institutes of Health)'. The NIH RePORTER API v2 is key-less and public-domain; attribution to NIH RePORTER is the only requirement.
