UNIVERSITIESFunding & applications
FROM A RESEARCH QUESTION TO AN APPLICATION

Find a grant. Get the application organised.

Find funding calls in Grant Radar, prepare the application with potential partner references, and follow internal approvals in one place. Track the funding decision and hand an awarded grant into a project.

WHY YOUR TEAM WOULD USE IT

Finding the call is only the first handoff.

Someone still needs to review the fit, bring the right expertise together, prepare the request, and coordinate institutional decisions. Scindu connects the funding source to the work that follows it.

THE PLATFORM AT WORK

Start with a real task.

Follow the people, decisions and records
from the first input to a useful result.

CHOOSE A USE CASE

Illustrative workflows.
Content, access and rollout are agreed with your institution.

AN EXAMPLE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OFFER

Take a funding call into internal approval

A researcher spots a promising call in Grant Radar. The research office needs the actual source, requested scope and institutional decision in one application trail.

Principal investigator · institutional approvers
START WITH

A selected funding call, research scope and requested amount

WHO ACTS / 01

Principal investigator

Choose a call in the configured catalogue connection. Keep its source reference, revision and deadline with the request. Review whether the project, institution and partners fit the programme.

THIS STEP PRODUCES

A native application with traceable funding-source context.

WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH

An internally reviewed application with funding context attached

A catalogue limit is not the requested or awarded amount. The funder’s eligibility and submission requirements still need to be checked.

WHAT THE OFFER COVERS

What your institution can do.

The website, data, and research processes are scoped together during implementation. These are the concrete pieces behind this part of the platform.

See the complete university offer
01

Funding discovery in context

Start from a Grant Radar call and carry its source details into the institutional application. The catalogue’s maximum support stays distinct from the amount you request.

  • Call source and revision
  • Programme requirements and deadlines
  • Separate requested funding amount
02

Review the fit before relying on it

Keep eligibility, consortium conditions, and the project’s actual scope in view. A relevant call is a starting point for review, not a funding commitment.

  • University and project eligibility checks
  • Partner and consortium requirements
  • Explicit review of unknown conditions
03

Search for the missing expertise

Use an explicit research topic to search UNITE and save potential partner references alongside the application. Confirm collaboration separately.

  • User-initiated researcher search
  • Potential-partner shortlists
  • Public references kept with the request
04

Internal approval with a clear trail

Route the application through the institution’s reviewed process. Keep forms, revisions, decisions, and responsibilities close to the same request.

  • Institutional approval paths
  • Return for changes and decision history
  • Clear current step and reviewer
05

Track the external decision

Record submission evidence and the actual funding outcome. A reviewed award has its own amount and evidence before it is handed into project work.

  • External submission receipt
  • Awarded, unfunded, or withdrawn outcomes
  • Award documents and separate review
06

Move the award into delivery

Create or confirm a linked project after award review. Carry the approved funding context forward without recreating the application in a second lifecycle.

  • Reviewed award-to-project handoff
  • Project and funding-register links
  • Quarterly reporting and final review
THE RESULT WE’RE WORKING TOWARDS

A funding opportunity becomes an organised application, with its context intact.

WHAT COMES NEXT

The next capabilities.

Proposed additions to the roadmap.
These are planned, rather than current features.

PLANNED / 01

Grant readiness workspace

An actionable checklist of eligibility questions, required evidence, partner contributions, and application blockers.

PLANNED / 02

Consortium completion

Identify missing disciplines and partner roles, then coordinate interest, consent, and confirmed participation.

PLANNED / 03

Funding-pipeline portfolio

Give authorised research-office staff a cross-project view of opportunities, submissions, decisions, and bottlenecks.

START WITH A USEFUL SCOPE

Start with your institution.

Software and implementation are free for universities. We agree the rollout, institutional responsibilities, and research-data scope before onboarding.

01 / MAP

Start with the actual work.

Review your current content, people, processes, and institutional structure.

02 / IMPLEMENT

Connect the right foundation.

Configure the identity, records, access, and workflows agreed for your unit.

03 / EXPAND

Let the useful connections grow.

Introduce the next processes and units once the initial scope is working.

A better foundation
for your institution.

Outline your institution, the systems you use, and the work you’d like to connect. Start with one unit or a wider rollout.
