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.

Data: Grants.gov's daily extract and NIH's notice pages, award files and patents file, in ScienceGraph release conductgrants-2026-11-12-0.3.1. An award is listed only where NIH's own record names the notice, and a PI only by NIH's profile ID. Grants.gov and NIH do not endorse ScienceDex.
