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 the competition scope first: a technically interesting project can still be out of scope if it does not address the stated challenge.

02

Record lead applicant, collaboration, eligible costs, project duration, subsidy and duplicate-submission rules before scoring fit.

03

Treat the deadline as a hard operational constraint; account setup, partner details and final answers should not wait until closing day.

Readiness checks

  • Competition scope and project fit checked.
  • Lead-applicant and partner rules recorded.
  • Eligible costs and grant-claiming partners understood.
  • Submission deadline and account setup are ready.
  • Source page and guidance links saved.

Eligibility caveats

  • FundingLens explains fit signals, eligibility caveats and next steps; it does not promise funding success or application approval.
  • Always check the official funder page before acting because deadlines, match-funding rules and eligible costs can change.
  • AI output stays separate from verified source facts and needs human review before it is used in an application.
