How much money is available?

Two different figures govern a programme and they are not interchangeable. The programme pool is what the funder has allocated across every award it will make this cycle. The award ceiling is the most one applicant can be granted.

What comparable notices state

135 recordsStated ceilings on open records in the same industry.

Among open records stored under Science, Technology, Research & Development, 135 of 330 state an award ceiling. Those that do run:

  • 25th percentile$417,500
  • Median$1,200,000
  • 75th percentile$5,000,000

A statistical estimate, not a prediction. It describes what a set of notices has published in this catalogue on the day you read it, and says nothing about what this programme will award. Records stating no ceiling are excluded rather than counted as zero, and the programme pool — what a funder has across every applicant — is a different column and is never mixed in.
