Each number opens the patent at USPTO, beside the project NIH ties it to and that project's institution. NIH ties a patent to a project, not to a year of its funding, and says its list is incomplete. The grant date and the owners are USPTO's: the organizations the patent names as assignees on the day it was granted.
