Project Abstract

Autologous vein grafts (VG) are the most commonly used conduits in revascularization procedures for coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). However, VG failure rates remain high, reaching 30- 50% for lower extremity bypass and over 50% for coronary artery bypass grafts (...

Project Abstract

Voice disorders occur in 6–17% of children, resulting in dysphonia (i.e., altered vocal quality) which has significant negative health, social, emotional, and educational consequences if left untreated. The most common cause of dysphonia in children is vocal fold nodules (VFN), callus-like growths o...

Project Abstract

The oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS) is a family of enzymes that act as RNA sensors in innate immunity. Microbial dsRNA activates OAS synthesis of short linear 2’5’ oligoadenylates, which activate endoribonuclease RNase L, leading to IFN-I signaling and cell death. The antiviral function of the OAS-R...

Search NIH grants by PI name

Looking for a specific principal investigator? The keyword search above looks up funded projects by topic. To search NIH grants by PI name (last name, first + last name, or partial name) and see every active and recent NIH award for that researcher, use the dedicated PI Funding Status tool.

How to Use PI Funding Data for Career Decisions

Finding the right principal investigator is one of the most important decisions in an academic career. Whether you are a postdoc looking for a mentor, a graduate student choosing a rotation lab, or a collaborator seeking a co-PI, NIH funding data provides objective signals about which investigators have active research programs and resources to support new team members.

A PI with a recently awarded R01 or equivalent grant is more likely to have budget for new personnel than one whose funding ended two years ago. The activity code tells you the type of grant: R01 and R35 awards typically support multiple lab members, while K-series awards are individual career development grants that may not fund additional positions. Understanding these distinctions helps you interpret search results accurately.

Look beyond the dollar amount. A $500,000 per year R01 at a high-cost institution may support fewer positions than a $300,000 award at a university with lower overhead rates. The project abstract and public health relevance statement reveal whether the PI's research direction aligns with your interests and expertise.

Understanding PI Grant Portfolios

A PI's grant portfolio reveals more than individual awards. Investigators with multiple active grants often run larger labs with more diverse projects, which can mean more opportunities for trainees. However, a PI with a single well-funded grant may offer more focused mentorship and a clearer path to publications.

Multi-PI grants (those with more than one principal investigator listed) indicate collaborative research and may involve trainees from multiple institutions. These can be excellent opportunities for interdisciplinary training but may also mean split attention from any single mentor.

Pay attention to the timing of awards. A PI who just received a new five-year R01 is in a different position than one whose grant ends next year. New awards often correspond to lab expansion and active recruiting, making them ideal targets for job seekers. The start and end dates shown in each result help you assess this timing.

Best Practices for Contacting Funded PIs

Once you identify a promising PI through this tool, the next step is outreach. NIH public records do not include email addresses, but you can usually find contact information through the PI's institutional profile page, lab website, or recent publications. Google Scholar, PubMed, and the PI's department website are reliable starting points.

When reaching out, reference the specific grant that caught your attention. Mentioning the project title and explaining how your skills relate to the funded work shows that you have done your homework. Keep your initial message concise: introduce yourself, explain your interest, attach your CV, and ask whether they anticipate openings.

Timing matters. Contacting a PI within the first year of a new award is ideal, as this is when they are most likely to be recruiting. If you find multiple promising PIs in the same field, prioritize those with the most recent award notices and activity codes that support trainee positions such as R01, U01, or P-series grants.

Frequently Asked Questions About PI Search

What does the opportunity score mean?

The opportunity score is a heuristic that combines award recency, funding amount, activity code type, and project characteristics to estimate how actionable a result might be for job seekers or collaborators. Higher scores suggest stronger signals, but always verify by reading the abstract and checking the PI's current lab page.

Why can't I find a PI I know has funding?

Name variations are the most common cause. Try searching with just the last name, or use different formats like "Smith, John" versus "John Smith." Some PIs also publish under different name variations or may have awards under a previous institutional affiliation.

Does this tool show all NIH-funded PIs?

The tool searches NIH RePORTER data for the keyword and year range you specify. It returns PIs whose funded projects match your search terms. PIs with grants in unrelated areas or whose projects use different terminology will not appear in keyword-filtered results.

What is the difference between "Likely hiring" and "Training-friendly" filters?

"Likely hiring" flags PIs with large new awards or activity codes typically associated with lab expansion. "Training-friendly" identifies awards that include training components or are at institutions known for postdoctoral programs. Both are heuristic filters to help prioritize your outreach.

How to use this well

Start broad, then narrow. Search a field first, then refine by timeframe once you understand who is currently active.

After you find a promising PI, cross-check them in Check PI Funding and review their institution, mechanism type, and project abstracts before reaching out.

What a match means

A result means the keyword appears relevant to the funded project data we searched. It does not guarantee the PI is hiring or that the grant is still active.

Use the abstract, award year, mechanism, and organization context to decide whether the record is strategically relevant.

Data limits

NIH records can lag, institutional names can vary, and some investigators publish or file awards under multiple name formats.

For details on source coverage and refresh cadence, read Data & Methodology.
