I haven’t even tried today - the email suggested it was still a bin fire so I’m not getting my hopes up till I get an email.

Baffling that a system with known fallibility issues could be the single source of truth for a funding round worth millions of pounds, with no back-up or risk mitigation.

an extremely odd business decision - the system with known fallibility issues becomes the single source of truth for a funding round worth millions of pounds, with no back-ups, risk mitigations or contingencies.

I’ve just had this via email

Grantium is still unavailable, so I am afraid we cannot yet share your funding decision with you. We are working hard to fix this technical issue, so that we can provide you with an outcome to your application as soon as possible – which should be early next week.
July 25, 2025 at 3:49 PM
Oh no!
July 25, 2025 at 3:22 PM
I assume you are still locked out too? Sending good vibes. I’m not sure I can take a delay that pushes us to to Monday
July 25, 2025 at 2:29 PM
Thank you for asking though, nice to be in the same boat! Hope you are holding up ok too!
July 24, 2025 at 8:17 PM
Nope! The messaging is quite ambiguous. Does it mean ‘stop trying, it won’t work til tomorrow’ or ‘it might work and we’ll update you more tomorrow’? Every time I try I feel more and more deflated when I can’t get in!
July 24, 2025 at 8:16 PM
Ahhhh, well that’s something. Just no idea how to find out when Grantium is down!
July 24, 2025 at 5:43 PM
How did you find out?
July 24, 2025 at 5:41 PM
So if my email says decision letter, that’s bad?
July 24, 2025 at 5:38 PM
That would be so welcome. I don’t mind if it’s not personalised, I’d just like to know either way. Publishing the CSV file as planned seems sensible
July 24, 2025 at 3:10 PM
This isn’t ideal.
July 24, 2025 at 2:55 PM
It’s like Schrödinger’s grant
July 24, 2025 at 2:54 PM
And me now too.
July 24, 2025 at 2:48 PM
Me neither!
July 24, 2025 at 1:55 PM
Right?! I mean, I’m pretty realistic - it’s a low success rate, competition is fierce and there are lots of disciplines fighting for the same budget. So I get it. But I just want to know either way so I can get on with whatever is next!
July 24, 2025 at 1:37 PM
It’s been down ALL DAY and I’m going mad
July 24, 2025 at 12:01 PM
I’m so sorry. Sending good vibes even though I know that’s not that much use!
July 23, 2025 at 9:34 PM
Looks like I’ll have to wait til tomorrow now as there’s no sign of Grantium coming online
July 23, 2025 at 5:25 PM
How did you get on? I’ve had error messages all day
July 23, 2025 at 5:22 PM
It’s been nuts! I’ve seen that some have had their rejections but I’ve not had anything yet and I don’t know what that means!
July 23, 2025 at 5:21 PM
Not quite sure why the algorithm served this post up to me, but I’m very glad it did
