Questions
Straight answers
Isn't this funding data free elsewhere?
Yes, and we will always tell you that. UKRI, Horizon Europe, NIH, NSF and Grants.gov are public. You are not paying for access to the data; you are paying for the hours it gives back: one search instead of eight funder sites, deadline alerts so a window never closes on you again, collaborator matching that turns a solo bid into a competitive consortium, and an AI assistant that helps you draft. Search is free forever. Membership pays for everything that happens after you find the grant.
How is GRP different from a funding database my library already licenses?
Those are excellent funding databases, and your institution may already license one. Our wedge is the layer they are weakest at: cross-border collaborator matching. We do not just list the grant; we connect you to the people and institutions worldwide running compatible work, because the biggest international grants are won by consortia, not individuals. And because we serve the individual researcher directly, you are never dependent on whether your university bought a seat.
How is GRP different from a profile or paper-sharing network?
Those are profile and paper-sharing networks. GRP is organised around two outcomes: winning funding, and forming the partnerships that win it. Showcasing your work matters here because it leads to collaboration and funding, not vanity metrics.
What exactly does membership buy me?
Unlimited deadline alerts, saved grants and searches, worldwide collaborator matching, the AI grant-proposal assistant, and the ability to submit your research to be featured. The free Explorer account lets you search and browse forever; Member unlocks everything that saves you time and helps you win.
How does collaborator matching actually work, and is it spammy?
It is built on public funded-project data and your own shortlists, not cold outreach. We analyse the call (topic, eligibility, funder, geography, deadline), map who is already funded in the area, surface complementary rather than identical expertise, and then support an introduction only when both researchers have opted in. You are always in control of who you contact.
Is the AI grant-proposal assistant safe to use with my work?
Yes, and it is built for academic trust. We do not train models on your unpublished proposal text, you control what you upload, and outputs are support material rather than final grant advice, so you should always check funder rules and eligibility against the source documents. Institutional customers can configure or disable AI features.
What does Member cost, and can I join?
Member is £9 a month or £79 a year, but individual membership is currently at full capacity and we have opened a waitlist. The free Explorer account lets you search and browse the funding landscape forever; Member unlocks unlimited alerts, worldwide collaborator matching, the AI grant-proposal assistant and the ability to submit your research to be featured. Join the waitlist and we will notify you the moment places reopen.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. When individual places reopen, Members can cancel anytime and keep access until the end of the billing period. Institutions partner with us on an annual basis.
Do you sell my data?
No. Our only loyalty is to the researcher. We surface public funding and link you to the source. Full detail is in our privacy policy.
I'm at a smaller or lower-income institution. Is GRP for me?
Especially. Opportunity should not depend on the size of your institution. The free Explorer tier gives you the full funding search forever, and Member is priced to be affordable for an individual researcher.
How current is the funding data?
We refresh from source funders daily, and every result shows when it was last updated.
How does institutional pricing work?
Institutions get team seats, a branded research showcase, strategic-visibility campaigns and dedicated support, priced to the size of your group. Book a demo and we will tailor it.
