How to Assess Applicant Eligibility with ChatGPT
Use ChatGPT and ToolRouter to check grant eligibility. Match your profile to opportunity requirements.
Tool
Check whether your organization qualifies for a specific grant before investing in the application. Use `opportunity_details` to pull the full requirements and `match_applicant_profile` to score your fit. ChatGPT is a good fit when you need the eligibility assessment written up as a clear memo or go/no-go recommendation.

- Ask ChatGPT to produce a go/no-go recommendation with clear reasoning for each eligibility criterion.
Example Prompt
Try this with ChatGPT using the Grants Finder tool
Use grants-finder to pull the full details for the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration funding call. Then match my profile as a UK NHS trust with a small research team and no prior NIHR funding. Give me a go/no-go recommendation with clear reasoning I can share with my team.
Tips
- Be thorough with your profile description so the match considers all relevant eligibility factors.
- Ask ChatGPT to produce a short executive summary first if you need a quick decision.
