--- name: grant-funding-scout description: NIH funding trend analysis to identify high-priority research areas version: 1.0.0 category: Research tags: [] author: AIPOCH license: MIT status: Draft risk_level: Medium skill_type: Tool/Script owner: AIPOCH reviewer: '' last_updated: '2026-02-06' --- # Grant Funding Scout **⚠️ Note: This is a demonstration/illustrative version using mock data for educational purposes. For production use, integration with real funding databases (NIH RePORTER, NSF Award Search, etc.) is required.** Analyze funding patterns to guide research strategy. ## Use Cases - Identifying "hot" research topics - Avoiding oversaturated areas - Strategic grant positioning ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `--research-area` | str | Yes | - | Research field to analyze (e.g., "cancer immunotherapy") | | `--years` | int | No | 3 | Analysis time window in years | | `--output` | str | No | stdout | Output file path for results | | `--format` | str | No | json | Output format: json, csv, or text | | `--top-n` | int | No | 10 | Number of top results to display | ## Returns - Top-funded institutions and PIs - Emerging topic identification - Funding trend analysis ## Example Input: "cancer immunotherapy", years=3 Output: Funding increased 40% YoY; CAR-T and checkpoint inhibitors dominate ## Data Sources **Current Version:** Uses mock funding data for demonstration purposes. **For Production Use:** - NIH RePORTER API - NSF Award Search API - CORDIS (EU research) - Federal RePORTER - Private foundation databases ## Risk Assessment | Risk Indicator | Assessment | Level | |----------------|------------|-------| | Code Execution | Python/R scripts executed locally | Medium | | Network Access | No external API calls | Low | | File System Access | Read input files, write output files | Medium | | Instruction Tampering | Standard prompt guidelines | Low | | Data Exposure | Output files saved to workspace | Low | ## Security Checklist - [ ] No hardcoded credentials or API keys - [ ] No unauthorized file system access (../) - [ ] Output does not expose sensitive information - [ ] Prompt injection protections in place - [ ] Input file paths validated (no ../ traversal) - [ ] Output directory restricted to workspace - [ ] Script execution in sandboxed environment - [ ] Error messages sanitized (no stack traces exposed) - [ ] Dependencies audited ## Prerequisites No additional Python packages required. ## Evaluation Criteria ### Success Metrics - [ ] Successfully executes main functionality - [ ] Output meets quality standards - [ ] Handles edge cases gracefully - [ ] Performance is acceptable ### Test Cases 1. **Basic Functionality**: Standard input → Expected output 2. **Edge Case**: Invalid input → Graceful error handling 3. **Performance**: Large dataset → Acceptable processing time ## Lifecycle Status - **Current Stage**: Draft - **Next Review Date**: 2026-03-06 - **Known Issues**: None - **Planned Improvements**: - Performance optimization - Additional feature support
