How to Track a Grant Application in 3 Steps

Follow these steps to get results in under a minute

01
Add your grant application
Enter the project title, funding body, and the final submission deadline. The tool pre-populates the standard proposal stages — literature review, draft, ethics, internal review, and submission.
02
Set stage deadlines and update status
For each stage, set a due date and mark the status: Not Started, In Progress, Completed, or Overdue. Stages past their due date without completion are automatically flagged.
03
Monitor progress and print the report
See a visual progress summary for each grant with colour-coded stage status. Print the full report for research supervisors, ethics committees, or institutional research offices.

"I manage 4-5 grant applications simultaneously at different stages. This tool gives me a single view of all of them with clear overdue flags — instead of hunting through email threads to remember where each proposal stands."

Dr. Chamari Fernando
Research Coordinator
★★★★★

"The days-to-deadline counter on each stage is what makes this different from a spreadsheet. I can see at a glance that the ethics clearance for one proposal is 8 days away and still marked 'Not Started' — that's a problem I need to act on immediately."

Dilshan Rathnayake
Research Office Manager
★★★★★

"We use this in our weekly research team meetings. The print report gives everyone a clear picture of which proposals are on track and which need attention — much more effective than going through a spreadsheet line by line."

Postgraduate Research Supervisor
★★★★☆

"Very useful for supervising PhD candidates who are applying for their first research grant. I share my screen in supervision meetings and we update the stage statuses together — it makes the grant application process feel manageable."
