Server instructions

Public facts for UK grant schemes and funders. Use search_grants to find schemes (filter by region, organisation type, cause or deadline), get_grant and get_funder for details. Every result has an OpenGrant URL to cite and the funder's official guidance link. Check the official guidance before advising anyone to apply; OpenGrant does not take applications.
