How each entry is checked

  • We start from the funder's own announcement wherever we can reach it, and note the date we last checked.
  • We work out who can apply: individuals and teams, registered organisations only, or only people in certain countries.
  • Anything we could not confirm is written down in the entry. Treat those lines as questions to settle on the official page.
  • Deadline times are shown in the funder's time zone and converted to your local time. Details change, so confirm everything on the official page before you apply.
