About the data

Tags & where they come from

Every filter, chip and label on the site is a tag. Each tag has a source of truth — an official page field, or an LLM reading of the official page — and every tag value either links to that evidence or is honestly labelled unspecified. Nothing is invented.

The tags

TagWhat it meansSource of truthWhere shown
Career stage
student · postdoc · early · mid · senior
Who the call is aimed at (e.g. PhD students, early-career researchers). LLM extraction of the official eligibility text; “Any / unspecified stage” when the page names no stage. Filters in the Browse view · chips on cards · grant page.
Applicant type
individual · university · research institute · nonprofit · company · government
The kind of entity that may apply. LLM extraction of the official page, falling back to crawl-time official applicant types (e.g. grants.gov). “Other / unspecified” only when nothing is named. Applicant-type dropdown · cards · grant page.
Consortium
required · not required
Whether the call needs multiple partners (e.g. EU consortia). Crawl-time official data + LLM extraction; absent when unstated. Consortium dropdown · cards · grant page.
Domestic restriction
domestic only · foreign eligible
Whether only entities of the funding country may apply. LLM extraction of the official eligibility text. Domestic dropdown · cards · grant page.
Relevance
relevant · non-research
Whether a call funds university research (vs. teaching/community/outreach programmes). LLM classification of the official page (title + agency + text); every row carries the reviewer's reason. Relevance dropdown (default view is “relevant to university research”).
Status
open · closing soon · rolling · forecast · no deadline · expired
The call's lifecycle, derived from the deadline. Official deadline field / LLM-verified deadline; rolling & forecast come from the official page's own flags. Status dropdown · deadline chips.
Funding
has figure · no figure
Whether a funding amount is published. Official funding fields (grants.gov award ceiling/floor, Horizon call budget) or LLM extraction of the official page. Funding dropdown · funding cell.
Translation
ES → EN, …
Non-English calls machine-translated for convenience. Machine translation of the official page; the original page is always linked. Title chips · grant page.
Agency The funding agency/body running the call. As named on the official page / official source record. Card meta chips · grant page header.
Country The funding country/region of the call. From the official source record (registry + crawl). Card meta chips · country filter.
Deadline The call's closing date (or rolling/forecast status). Official deadline field, or LLM-verified from the official page; rolling/forecast flags come from the official page itself. Deadline chips · status filter · grant page.

Evidence rule: on every grant page, each tag value links to the official source page (its evidence) when one exists, or is labelled unspecified. Sources are listed in docs/Feedback/codingRequirements.md context and the coverage audit.
