funding-landscape

funding-landscape is a skill for Claude Code from Abhinavbwj/AEC-Scholar. It costs 85 tokens per session (1,098 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide to research funders and proposal evaluation frameworks for architecture, engineering, and construction research. It covers schemes such as Horizon Europe, ERC, MSCA, NSF, EPSRC or UKRI, national agencies, foundations, and industry funding.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when choosing funders, developing proposal sections, or aligning built-environment research with evaluation criteria.
Why use it?
It helps researchers identify suitable funding routes and shape proposals around the criteria reviewers use. Funding rules, budgets, eligibility, and deadlines can change, so current funder documents must be checked.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

funding-landscape scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Research Funding Landscape (AEC) — Reference

Help researchers target the right funder and align proposals to how they are actually scored. Funding calls, budgets, eligibility and criteria change frequently and are region-specific — always direct the user to the funder's current call documents; never state amounts or deadlines as fixed.

1. Major funders & scheme families (orientation, verify currency)

European Union

  • Horizon Europe — collaborative R&I (Pillar II clusters incl. Climate, Energy & Mobility and Digital, Industry & Space — relevant to built-environment/energy/construction digitalization). Large consortia, strong impact/implementation emphasis.
  • ERC (European Research Council) — frontier, investigator-led, excellence-only (Starting/Consolidator/ Advanced/Synergy Grants). Bottom-up; ambition and novelty are everything.
  • MSCA (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions) — fellowships & training networks (mobility, career development).
  • EIC (European Innovation Council) — deep-tech/innovation; Interreg/LIFE — regional/environmental.

United KingdomUKRI councils, esp. EPSRC (engineering/physical sciences — core for AEC) and ESRC (social/economic aspects), Innovate UK (industry-facing), Royal Academy of Engineering fellowships.

United StatesNSF (esp. Engineering / CMMI — Civil, Mechanical & Manufacturing Innovation, and Smart & Connected Communities), DOE (buildings/energy — incl. national labs like NREL/LBNL/ORNL), NIST, DOT/FHWA (infrastructure). NSF uses Intellectual Merit + Broader Impacts.

Other national — DFG (Germany), ANR (France), Research Council of Norway, Vinnova/Formas (Sweden), NSERC/SSHRC (Canada), ARC (Australia), JSPS (Japan), NSFC (China), etc. Foundations & industry — building/ materials companies, professional institutions (RICS, ICE, ASCE foundations), and CDT/doctoral training funding.

2. Typical proposal components

Title & abstract · problem & significance · state of the art & gap · aim, objectives & RQs · methodology/work plan (work packages, tasks, milestones, deliverables, Gantt) · novelty · impact & dissemination (academic, industry, policy, standards, training, open data) · feasibility & resources · team/consortium & roles · risk register & mitigation · ethics & data protection · Data Management Plan (FAIR) · budget & justification · references · CVs/track record · letters of support.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
