Grant funding is public information that is hard to find
Thousands of research grants are published every year across hundreds of government sites, in formats built for compliance rather than for reading. Grant Ninja collects them into one place and keeps them current.

How the database is built
Automated crawlers monitor official agency websites and grant portals. When a page changes, the new content is extracted, checked, and turned into a structured record: what the funding is, who can apply, how much is available, and when it closes.
Records that the system is not confident about do not go live. They go to a review queue and a person decides. That is slower than publishing everything, and it is the reason the database is worth reading.
Every grant page links back to the agency notice it came from and shows when it was last checked. If the two ever disagree, the agency is right — and we want to know about it.
What this is not
Grant Ninja does not write applications and does not decide who gets funded. The agency does both. What we can tell you is what exists, whether you are eligible, and how long you have.
We also finance grants that have already been awarded. That is a separate service and it has no bearing on what appears in the database — a grant is listed because it is real and current, not because there is anything in it for us.
