Terms of Service

Please read these terms before using NIH Grant Explorer. By accessing the site you agree to them.

Use of the Site

  • Use the site for lawful research and informational purposes.
  • Do not scrape, overload, or misuse the APIs.
  • Accounts (if enabled) must belong to real individuals.
  • The site is an independent resource and should not be represented as an official NIH service.

Content & Data

  • Data comes from NIH RePORTER/ExPORTER and other public sources; errors may exist.
  • Nothing here is legal, financial, or grant-review advice.
  • We may update or remove content without notice.

Liability

We provide the service “as is” without warranties.

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages.

Availability and service changes

Features may be unavailable during maintenance, deployment, upstream NIH API outages, rate limiting, or changes to third-party services. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, a particular refresh schedule, or permanent availability of any tool, API response, chart, export, article, or saved URL.

We may change, suspend, or discontinue features when required for security, reliability, legal compliance, data-source changes, or product maintenance. Where practical, important methodology or policy changes will be reflected in the relevant page documentation.

External sources and user responsibility

Links to NIH, Grants.gov, PubMed, universities, and other external services are provided for verification and convenience. Those services control their own content, availability, privacy practices, and terms. You are responsible for confirming eligibility, deadlines, submission instructions, and compliance requirements against the current official funding announcement and your institution's sponsored-research office.

Changes & Contact

We may update these terms; the effective date will change.
