Reviewer-style critique is not an official funder review or a funding guarantee.

How we work

Agree the application length, stage and follow-up before work begins. Reviewer-style feedback is not an official funder assessment.

Not part of this scope

  • Official funder review or privileged knowledge of panels.
  • Guaranteed funding, budget certification or institutional submission.
  • Writing an application from invented evidence.

You approve the final work and any submission. Authors remain responsible for the work and for following institutional, journal and funder rules on professional assistance and AI disclosure.
