In which a few things are asked & answered.

For the best AI extraction, include: an overview (title, description, eligibility, funding), key dates (open date, deadline, notification date), application requirements (what applicants must submit), evaluation criteria (how submissions will be scored), and contact information. The more detail you provide, the better the auto-generated form and rubric will be.

Proposal content is only sent to an AI provider when you actively use AI features, like the reviewer assistant or decision emails. We do not sell or share your data with third parties.

When enabled, reviewers see proposal content but not the applicant's identity. Fields you mark as "identity fields" (name, email, organization) are automatically hidden from reviewers. You can configure which fields are identity fields in the application form builder.

Yes! With a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) plan, you store your own OpenRouter API key for AI features and optionally a SourceVerify key for reference checking. Keys are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and only decrypted server-side when making API calls. AI costs flow directly to your account. You control usage and spending.

Yes, active calls can be edited at any time. Need to communicate a change? Post an addendum that's visible to all applicants on the public call page. Once a call has submissions, form fields and rubric structure are locked to ensure fairness, but title, description, and dates remain editable.

SourceVerify checks academic references in proposals, flagging missing, retracted, or fabricated sources before reviewers start. Useful for research grants, academic papers, and any call with scholarly citations. Available on AI Included plans or with your own SourceVerify API key. Learn more about SourceVerify ↗

All your data is deleted: proposals, uploaded files, reviews, API keys, and any calls you own (including their submissions and reviews). This is irreversible.
