What makes this page publishable
Glossary entries include product workflow context and avoid generic dictionary-only definitions.
Treat the official funder wording as the source of truth.
Use the term as a prompt for a concrete readiness or eligibility check.
Store citations so the team can re-check the source later.
Readiness checks
- Find the term on the official source page.
- Map the term to a decision or task.
- Flag ambiguity for human review.
Eligibility caveats
- FundingLens explains fit signals, eligibility caveats and next steps; it does not promise funding success or application approval.
- Always check the official funder page before acting because deadlines, match-funding rules and eligible costs can change.
- AI output must stay separate from verified source facts and should be reviewed before being used in an application.
