Grant — Research Budget & Funding Tracker

Grant — Research Budget & Funding Tracker — a premium, 100% offline digital tool by Aceplore. Runs entirely in your browser: no accounts, no subscriptions, your data never leaves your device.

A private, offline research budget and funding tracker that gets the indirect-cost basis right — a 30% rate on a 100,000 direct cost is 30,000 on one basis and 42,857 on the other, and the app names which one it used every time — 32 tools in one, on your own machine.

32 built-in tools in one app. An application list with a detail page, a pipeline board, funders and their rules, a deadline view, a success rate and collaborator records; a budget builder with a full detail view, categories, staff costs computed from salary, FTE and months, equipment, indirect costs computed on either the direct-cost or the total-cost basis with the basis named on every result, a total-cost summary, cost share, an eligibility check against the funder rules you record, a caps view and a justification workspace; awards with a spend log, burn rate, remaining balance, a forecast, a variance view, reporting deadlines and outputs; plus reports and CSV export.

Indirect costs. On the DIRECT basis a 30% rate on 100,000 is 30,000, totalling 130,000. On the TOTAL basis it is 100,000 ÷ (1 − 0.30) = 142,857.14, making indirect 42,857.14. The app names the basis on every result rather than leaving it implicit.

Pipeline & Deadlines. A board by stage plus a deadline view, so nothing is discovered a week late.

Burn rate & Forecast. Spend to date against elapsed time, and a projection from the rate you are actually spending at rather than the rate you planned.

Grant is a planning, record-keeping and calculation tool for students, researchers and teaching staff. Every figure and every formatted output it produces is derived by a standard published method from what YOU enter, and the rules behind it are editable because academic conventions are set locally rather than universally. Your institution's regulations, your funder's terms and your supervisor's, journal's or examiner's requirements always take precedence over anything shown here — check them, and confirm anything that carries a consequence before you rely on it. Nothing here is a guarantee of a grade, an award, an approval or a result, and none of it is academic, financial or legal advice. You are solely responsible for your own academic and research decisions.
