# Awards Overview

Awards represent research grants and funding awards. They link funders to the works they have funded.

## Filter, sort, and group_by fields

The API supports filtering, sorting, and grouping on awards fields. See [Filtering](/api/filtering/), [Sorting](/api/sorting/), and [Grouping](/api/grouping/) for syntax.

Fields marked **(deprecated)** are `.search` filters — use the [`search` parameter](/api/searching/) instead.
