Awards and grants

Last updated: May 3, 2026

Awards and grants are tracked separately. Both appear on your published profile in their own sections, and both can be imported automatically from a CV.

Awards

An award is anything someone gave you for your work — fellowships, prizes, named lectureships, "best paper" honors, society memberships. Each award has a title, organization, year, and an optional description.

Awards display on your site in reverse-chronological order. There's no concept of "in progress" for awards — they're either received or they're not.

Grants

A grant entry tracks funding you've received or are pursuing. Fields:

  • Title — short name of the award (e.g. "NSF CAREER" or the project name).
  • Agency — funding body (NSF, NIH, Wellcome, internal, etc.).
  • Amount — total awarded. Stored as a string so you can include currency or notes ("$2.4M total, $480k to PI").
  • Role — your role on the grant (PI, co-PI, senior personnel, etc.).
  • Status — active, completed, pending, or declined.
  • Start / end dates — used to compute the period and to sort completed grants.

Status controls grouping on your published site. Active grants appear first; completed ones are below. Pending and declined grants are kept private by default (visible to you but not on your public site) — use them to track applications without committing to publishing them.

Importing from a CV

Both awards and grants get pulled in automatically when you upload a CV during onboarding (or via Tools → Import CV later). The AI parser (Pro) is noticeably better at separating awards from grants than the regex parser, since it reads context.

Hiding sections you don't use

If you don't have any awards or grants — or want to keep that section off your public site — go to Site → Pages and toggle the section off. Your data stays in the dashboard but the public page-section disappears.
