Frequently Asked Questions
What does this tool actually find?
Public X posts announcing grant or research-funding wins — phrases like 'we've been awarded a grant from', 'excited to receive NSF/NIH/ERC funding', 'our project was selected for' — within a research area you specify, summarised into a list of awards and recipients.
How do I target a research area?
Enter a field such as 'quantum computing', 'cancer immunotherapy', or 'climate adaptation'. The tool filters funding chatter to posts relevant to that area rather than returning every grant announcement on X.
What's the time window?
The last 60 days. Grant announcements are spread out and often follow funding-cycle deadlines, so a two-month window catches the recent wave without diluting it with stale awards.
What does 'weighted by institution/agency' mean?
Mentions are ranked higher when the post comes from or names a recognised institution or funding body (NSF, NIH, ERC, major universities), since those are more verifiable than anonymous claims. It helps you focus on substantiated awards first.
Why call them 'leaks' — aren't these public announcements?
Researchers often post about an award on X before the funder's official press release or database entry goes live, so X can be the earliest public surface. The tool captures that lead time; some items will later be formally confirmed.
How accurate is the funding amount if mentioned?
Amounts come straight from the posts, and many announcements omit or round figures. Where a sum is stated it's reported as posted, but treat dollar/euro figures as claimed rather than audited until you check the official source.
Is it free?
Yes — 5 free runs a day, no signup required. Pro at $19/month unlocks unlimited scans for continuous funding monitoring across multiple fields.
