The evaluation process for new grant applications normally takes between eight and twelve weeks. It is essential that prospective grantees and their projects are evaluated diligently to ensure that the deployed resources add proportional value to the Quadrans ecosystem.
The status of your Grant application can also be seen in the Grant Platform. Our evaluation process contains the following steps:
1/2 WEEKS

Application
You can apply with your project at any time, each areas of interest contains a link that will guide you to the Grant Platform (see below). Applications are initially vetted to ensure they fulfill the Quadrans Foundations formal and substantial requirements. Vetting is performed by several contributors from the Quadrans ecosystem. The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) has full visibility over reviewers and ensures adequate management of potential conflicts of interest.
Due diligence
Applications that receive positive recommendations from the TAC complete a due diligence process before final decisions to approve, decline, or revise grant applications are made by the Executive Committee or the Quadrans Foundation Council.
Evaluation
Applications that pass through the initial review phase are sent to the Quadrans Foundation’s TAC for technical due diligence and evaluation. The list of current TAC members can be found in the About us section. The TAC does not make grant decisions itself, but rather offers advice on an application’s technological strength and usefulness to the Quadrans ecosystem.
Response
Final decisions about grant applications are communicated to applicants after they are made by the Quadrans Foundation. Lastly, approved applicants collaborate with the Quadrans Foundation to complete legal paperwork before a grant is finalized.
