# How to Research Funded Projects with OpenClaw

Search grant history to see what projects have been funded in your topic area. Use `search_grant_history` to find past awards by topic, sector, and geography. OpenClaw is best when you want to batch-search across multiple topic areas or geographies and compare the results with a stable schema.

## Setup

openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter in OpenClaw: openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Define the list of topic areas, sectors, and geographies you want to compare.
3. Use `grants-finder` with `search_grant_history` to pull past awards for each combination.
4. Review the batch results and compare funding density across topics and regions.
5. Use the cross-topic analysis to identify the strongest positioning for your application.

## Example Prompt

```
Use grants-finder to search the grant history for AI-powered diagnostics, digital therapeutics, and remote patient monitoring projects funded in the UK and EU over the last 5 years. Keep the schema stable so I can compare funding levels across all three topic areas.
```

## Tips

- Search broadly first to understand the landscape, then narrow by funder or sub-topic for deeper analysis.
- Lock the output schema before batching so cross-topic comparisons are clean and comparable.
