Opportunity BasketGrant Requirements Intelligence Service
A human-powered research support service that maintains a living database of grant requirements (page limits, formatting, submission deadlines, hidden preferences) for major European funding bodies (CNRS, ERC, Horizon Europe, national research councils). Researchers submit their grant type + funder, and within 24 hours receive a 1-page distilled requirements sheet plus a 15-min consultation call with a grant specialist who has successfully navigated that specific funder's process.
42 weeks • 70% confidence
Value Proposition
Eliminates 8-15 hours of fragmented searching and email back-and-forth per application. Reduces rejection risk from formatting non-compliance. Provides insider knowledge (e.g., 'CNRS reviewers penalize proposals over 12 pages even though the official limit says 15') that official channels never reveal. Faster and more reliable than emailing funding bodies.
Target Audience
Early-career researchers (postdocs, junior faculty) and research administrators at universities applying for competitive grants in STEM and humanities; institutions with 50-500 active grant seekers.
Key Features
- Database of 40+ major European funding schemes with actual page limits, formatting rules, and undocumented preferences
- 24-hour turnaround on custom requirements sheets for any funder + grant type combination
- 15-minute phone/video consultation with a specialist who has successfully obtained that specific grant
- And more, with full implementation detail...

Academics struggle to navigate unclear grant application requirements and page limits across different funding bodiesResearchers applying for competitive grants like CNRS positions waste significant time searching for specific formatting requirements, page limits, and submission guidelines that are often unclear or scattered across multiple documents. This uncertainty delays applications, increases rejection risk due to non-compliance, and creates anxiety about whether their research proposal meets unstated expectations. Current solutions (official websites, PDFs, email inquiries) are fragmented and slow to respond.
