Methodology

Every amount, deadline and eligibility rule on this site is stored with four fields: the value, the official source URL, the date it was last checked, and how it was checked. Status labels are calculated from recorded dates when the page loads. Facts past their check-by date are displayed as unconfirmed.

How facts are recorded

Each fact carries a confidence grade. Verified means a person confirmed it against the funder’s official page on the date shown. Auto-checked means automated research read the official page on the date shown; a human check is still pending. Reported means the value comes from reliable secondary sources. Uncertain means sources conflict or the funder has not published the value; the record says so rather than guessing.

How status is calculated

Whether a program shows open, closing soon or closed is derived from its recorded intake dates at the moment you load the page. A deadline that passed at midnight shows closed in the morning without any editor involved. Programs with continuous intake are labelled as such, with a note where annual budgets are known to run out early.

Check-by dates

Each record has a review interval based on how often it changes: 14 days for programs in an active window, 60 days for the continuous-intake core, 180 days for stable reference facts such as tax credit rates. When a record passes 1.5 times its interval it is marked unconfirmed as of its last check date. When it passes 3 times its interval it is removed from open counts and the deadline calendar until it is checked again.
