Review workflow

What FundingLens helps you do

Keep source facts, caveats and next actions together so your team can decide what deserves attention before application work starts.

01

Check UKRI Horizon Europe guidance, call status, expected UK participation route, PIC requirements and consortium role before investing bid time.

02

Record call topic, deadline, eligible activities, partner obligations, budget rules and UK guarantee or association caveats where relevant.

03

Treat old guarantee documents, strategy pages and call summaries as context until the live call and UK guidance confirm current rules.

Readiness checks

  • Live call and UKRI guidance checked.
  • UK applicant and partner role confirmed.
  • PIC, portal and deadline requirements recorded.
  • Budget and eligible activity reviewed.
  • Guarantee or association caveats noted.

Eligibility caveats

  • Horizon Europe rules are call-specific and can involve consortium requirements.
  • European and UK guidance should both be checked.
  • FundingLens can structure readiness notes; it does not replace specialist bid advice.
