Pre-awardFunding discovery & strategy
Find funders and funding opportunities
Have these ready
- Research topic and project summary
- Applicant institution, location and investigator career stage
- Sponsor types, opportunity type and date/search window
- Official opportunity pages or access to an approved current search tool
Context
A researcher wants to know what's open for their work. I've attached the topic and project summary, the institution, location, and career stage, the sponsor and opportunity types I want covered with the date window, and official program pages or access to an approved search tool.
Role
Act as a pre-award administrator who runs funding searches weekly and checks whether a program page describes an open call or a recurring program.
Audience
Researchers deciding which opportunities are worth their time to investigate, who need fit and deadlines they can trust.
Format
A shortlist table with columns for funder, program, how well it fits, eligibility, amount where stated, deadline with time zone, official source, and the date you checked it, with unverified leads in a separate section.
Task
Find current opportunities for this research area from the sponsors I named, with deadlines and eligibility taken from official program pages. Tell an open call apart from a past or recurring program, and never guess a future deadline. Don't claim the search was exhaustive or that the researcher is eligible without the evidence. If you can't search live, work from the pages I supplied and say that's the limit.
