“How many SBIR awards did DOE make last year, and how much total funding?” / “SBIR award count and dollar total for NASA in 2024” — per-agency SBIR/STTR TOTALS, live from www.sbir.gov/awards (the same source sbir_search_awards uses). Specify agency (e.g. “DOD”, “NASA”, “DOE”) and, optionally, year to scope the count — year is the CALENDAR year sbir.gov’s own “Award Year” field assigns to the award (verified against sbir.gov/awards’ own year[YYYY] filter and each award’s detail page, not a federal fiscal year). award_count is always exact: sbir.gov/awards states a precise “Showing X-Y of N results” total, never an “at least” estimate. When agency is given, this also returns funding_total: the dollar sum of award amounts across the matched awards. sbir.gov/awards has no funding-total aggregate of its own — the dollar amount lives only on each award’s own detail page, one fetch per award — so funding_total sums at most the first 25 matching awards and sets funding_total_complete: true only when that covers every match; otherwise funding_total_complete: false and funding_note says how many of how many were actually summed (narrow with sbir_search_awards’ company/state/keyword filters to bring a large match count under 25 for an exact sum — never trust a false total as the real figure). Omit agency to see counts only (no funding_total — aggregating funding across all major agencies in one call would mean hundreds of detail-page fetches) across the major agencies (DOD, HHS, NASA, NSF, DOE, USDA) at once.
