What Grant Radar is

The NIH Guide publishes dozens of funding notices every week: dense, verbose, and easy to miss. Grant Radar reads the stream once, structures it, and presents it in a form a researcher can scan in minutes: real opportunities with deadlines up front, administrative chatter demoted, and a profile filter that knows what you work on.

Where the data comes from

Every Sunday evening a GitHub Action pulls structured records from the official NIH Guide search API and joins each funding opportunity to Grants.gov for its synopsis, award ceiling, and close date. No scraping, no keys, no server; the site you are reading is static files on GitHub Pages.

About the TL;DR blocks

Cards with a purple TL;DR block have been summarized with an LLM (Claude) and reviewed by me; the summaries also add do/don't lists for applicants. Cards showing a grey Synopsis carry the official Grants.gov purpose text verbatim. Everything else on a card (dates, institutes, activity codes) comes straight from the structured sources, never from the model.

Who built it

Muntasir Masum. I study aging, alcohol use, and mortality, and built this to stop losing Friday afternoons to the Guide. The code is open at github.com/muntasirmasum/grant-radar; subscribe via RSS if you want the weekly stream in your reader.
