Grants

We collect open grant calls from funding bodies so that projects such as Matchmaking and GFS can pair them with the right researchers and publications. Each funder is a data intake: one page per source, describing how we collect its calls and where they land.

Grant attributes

Every grant is stored in the Grants table with the attributes below. The required ones (highlighted) must be supplied by every source — a source that can’t provide them isn’t ready to be ingested. The rest are filled when the source has them, or generated by the platform.
