For key status changes of a grant request, it is strongly recommended to actively inform the applicant. Automatic notifications create transparency and ensure clear, traceable communication between the funding organization and the applicant.
Transparency and clarity
Applicants want to know at all times where their grant request stands in the process. Status updates provide orientation, build trust, and reduce uncertainty – especially when processing times are longer.
Reduction of enquiries
If status changes are not communicated, applicants often contact the funding organization directly to ask about the current status. Automatic notifications help prevent unnecessary enquiries and reduce administrative workload.
We therefore recommend activating the sending of status notifications for key status changes in order to ensure a transparent, efficient, and clearly traceable funding process.
