# Grants Dashboard

**The Grants Dashboard provides a high-level overview of institutional grants and their status, combining real-time data with insights from external sources.** It enables users to assess funding trends, track grant application success rates, and make strategic decisions regarding resource allocation.

The dashboard includes:

* Total number of grant applications and their status.
* The total value of pending and awarded grants.
* [Configured grant sources](#administrative-access-to-the-dashboard), which are essential for accurate information retrieval. These sources feed the system with updated opportunities, ensuring the dashboard reflects the most relevant and current funding landscape.

## Administrative Access to the Dashboard

The Grant Radar solution provides administrators with powerful tools to manage and maintain the integrity of the grants ecosystem. With administrative access, users can ensure that grant opportunities are accurately sourced, effectively matched, and seamlessly managed across the institution.

Administrators have access to these additional configuration options directly from the top menu within the dashboard:

* [**Researchers**](../system-configuration#import-researcher-profile)**:** Add, update, and manage researcher profiles to support accurate matching and reporting.
* [**Grant Sources**](../system-configuration#set-up-grant-sources)**:** Add new grant sources and keep existing funding opportunities up to date to ensure comprehensive coverage.

These tools help maintain a well-organized and responsive grants management system, supporting both institutional goals and individual researcher success.
