grants

NIH grant research skill for clinical researchers. Produces a strategic NIH funding overview as an editable .docx:

1. Research positioning analysis — 5-facet Consensus search producing gap quotes + draft Significance/Innovation language
2. Institute mapping — Which NIH institutes are actually funding this area (via RePORTER)
3. Targeted grant discovery — NOSIs, open FOAs, funded overlap filtered to mapped institutes
4. Strategic recommendations — Career-stage + project-scope mechanism matching, program officer guidance, submission timeline

Sibling skill relationship

Part of the research pack (sibling of pulse, litreview; future siblings: patent, dossier, syllabus). All share the Agent Integrity Rules block (1 q/sec, source discipline, three-count tracking, retry-once-after-3s, stop-after-3-consecutive-failures).

Different from litreview:

• Adds RePORTER POST queries (not just Consensus) — NIH-specific funded-project data
• Adds NOSI fetch for NOT-* opportunity numbers
• DOCX has 9 sections (vs 8 in litreview) — adds Strategic Recommendations + Study Sections sections
• NIH-only scope; non-NIH funders out of scope
