What it does

Nih Reporter Endmarket is an agent skill from hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity. This skill should be used when the user asks about "NIH funding", "RePORTER", "academic end market", "research budgets", "tools demand", "instrument placements", "capex cycle for tools", or is modelling a life-science tools or reagents company's academic exposure. Anchors prompt-library IDs MOD-06 and SUB-TLS-02.

Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Prompt engineering and Market research. The repository describes itself as: Synthesis engine for buy-side healthcare equity research. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks about NIH funding
  • Academic end market
  • Research budgets
  • Instrument placements

Example prompts

  • “NIH funding”
  • “RePORTER”
  • “academic end market”
  • “/nih-reporter-endmarket”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Pull the funding series (scripts/nih_reporter.py) by fiscal year, split by
  2. Distinguish obligations from outlays. RePORTER reports awards. Money is spent
  3. Watch the appropriations cycle separately. The NIH budget is set in Congress;
  4. Build the exposure map. For a listed tools company, estimate academic and
  5. Cross-read the other end markets. Biotech funding (venture and follow-on issuance)
  6. Emit the brief.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6c7bda8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Nih Reporter Endmarket loads about 905 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 433 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~905

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

NIH RePORTER end-market read

Read federal research funding as a leading indicator of life-science tools and reagents demand, with the lag structure made explicit.

Workflow

  1. Pull the funding series (scripts/nih_reporter.py) by fiscal year, split by:
    • Institute — NCI, NIAID, NHGRI and NIGMS have very different equipment intensity.
    • Activity code — this is the important cut. R01s fund consumables and reagents; S10 shared-instrumentation grants fund capital equipment directly and are the cleanest open proxy for instrument demand; P30 and U54 centre grants fund core facilities, which are the largest single buyers of high-end instruments.
    • Institution — concentration in the top research universities and institutes.
    • Text search — the technology itself (single-cell, spatial, cryo-EM, long-read sequencing, mass spectrometry) to isolate a platform's academic pull.
  2. Distinguish obligations from outlays. RePORTER reports awards. Money is spent over the grant period, so the demand effect is spread over years with a lag that is long and variable — typically one to three years for consumables, front-loaded for instrument grants.
  3. Watch the appropriations cycle separately. The NIH budget is set in Congress; continuing resolutions, rescissions, indirect-cost-rate policy changes and shutdowns affect actual spending regardless of what RePORTER shows about prior awards. Policy risk to the academic end market is not visible in the award data at all and must be tracked separately.
  4. Build the exposure map. For a listed tools company, estimate academic and government revenue share from its own disclosures, then apply the funding trend only to that share. Pharma and biotech end-market demand moves on a completely different cycle — biotech funding conditions and pharma R&D budgets — and blending them destroys the signal.
  5. Cross-read the other end markets. Biotech funding (venture and follow-on issuance) drives the biotech end market; sec-forensics can supply the issuance picture.
  6. Emit the brief.

Interpretation

  • S10 instrument grant counts falling year over year is one of the earlier open signals of an academic capital-equipment downturn, and it typically precedes tools companies' own guidance revisions.
  • Rising total dollars with flat new award counts means larger grants to fewer labs — consolidation into big centres, which favours high-end instrument vendors over broad-line consumables suppliers.
  • A technology-specific text search with rapidly rising award counts identifies a platform in its academic-adoption phase, which typically precedes the clinical and commercial phase by several years.

Not-automatic

Grant obligations do not license a revenue forecast. They set the direction and approximate timing of one end market, which is usually a minority of a tools company's revenue.
