How to Assess Applicant Eligibility with OpenClaw
Use OpenClaw and ToolRouter to check grant eligibility. Score your profile against full 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. OpenClaw is best when you need to assess eligibility across multiple opportunities or applicant profiles in batch.
Connect ToolRouter to OpenClaw

Once connected (see setup above), use the Grants Finder tool:
- Define the list of opportunities and applicant profiles you want to assess.
- Use `grants-finder` with `opportunity_details` to pull requirements for each opportunity.
- Run `match_applicant_profile` for each combination of opportunity and applicant profile.
- Review the batch results and focus application effort on the combinations with the strongest fit.
Example Prompt
Try this with OpenClaw using the Grants Finder tool
Use grants-finder to pull the full details for three NIHR funding calls. Then match two different applicant profiles against each: a UK NHS trust with a small research team and a university department with prior NIHR funding. Keep the schema stable so I can compare all combinations.
Tips
- Be thorough with your profile description so the match considers all relevant eligibility factors.
- Lock the output schema before batching so cross-opportunity comparisons are clean.
