⚪new_funding(institution, pi, sponsor, sponsorClass, topic, ...)
THE GTM-trigger tool. Return the newest NIH grants and newly-registered clinical trials in a territory — the highest-intent buying signal in life-sciences sales (a newly-funded lab has budget and is choosing vendors now). Filter by institution, PI, sponsor, topic, state, IC, phase.

}🟢whats_changed_since(cursor, institution, pi, sponsor, sponsorClass, ...)
