# How to Assess Applicant Eligibility with ChatGPT

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.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter in ChatGPT: {"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}
2. Name the grant opportunity and describe your organization profile with type, geography, sector, size, and relevant experience.
3. Use `grants-finder` with `opportunity_details` to pull the full eligibility criteria.
4. Run `match_applicant_profile` to score your organization against those criteria.
5. Ask ChatGPT to produce a go/no-go recommendation with clear reasoning for each eligibility criterion.

## Example Prompt

```
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.
