Turn a shortlist into a plan.
Save calls to your pipeline. Organise contacts, set internal approval targets and use a call-specific preparation checklist.
Different stages. Different routes.
Research funding
is not one-size-fits-all.
A fellowship for an individual is not the same as a project award to an institution. Grant Compass labels that distinction.
- Doctoral & PhD
- Selected scholarships, studentships and doctoral training routes. Check whether the funder awards to you or your host.
- Postdoctoral & research fellowships
- Career-stage, mobility and host conditions made visible before you prepare an application.
- Individual & organisational applicants
- Individual, individual-via-host and organisation-led routes kept distinct, including research projects and partnerships.
Before you join
Useful to know.
Is Grant Compass available to everyone?
Not yet. The working tool is private while we test access, matching and catalogue quality. You can register your interest below. Requesting access does not automatically create an account or grant admission.
Does a match mean I am eligible or will get funded?
No. Fit scores are based on your inputs, not a prediction of funding success. Review all conditions on the official funder page, and confirm your host organisation's requirements before applying.
Can I apply for a grant inside Grant Compass?
No. Applications go through the funder's official process. Grant Compass helps with opportunity selection and preparation, rather than replacing a funder or research office.
What should I send when requesting beta access?
Your name, career stage, institution or organisation and country are enough. Please do not email confidential research ideas, unpublished findings or sensitive personal data. Beta requests are handled as enquiries under our privacy notice, not as automatic newsletter subscriptions.
