Step 3 will appear after you start a funding route.

Describe the project in Step 1, add any necessary filters in Step 2, and then select Find funding routes. EmpiricQuest will return funding-route cards here, not just a general list of calls.

  1. Step 1: Add a topic, country, method, funder, discipline, or funding need.
  2. Step 2: Optional — narrow by category, career stage, region, deadline, award amount, or eligibility.
  3. Step 3: Use Find funding routes or Apply funding filters to load matching route cards without a full page refresh.
