# Awards Overview

> Schema reference for Awards entities

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](/guides/filtering), [Sorting](/guides/sort), and [Grouping](/guides/grouping) for syntax.

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