Grants and awards

Grants and awards are funds or recognition given to individuals, organizations, or projects to support specific activities or achievements. A grant is usually a sum of money provided by a government, foundation, or organization to help with research, development, or operational costs, often with specific conditions or goals. An award, on the other hand, is a recognition or honor granted in acknowledgment of excellence, accomplishment, or contribution in a particular field. Both serve to promote progress, innovation, and excellence by providing needed resources or acknowledging success.
