In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up your Scout account and prepare your first project.

Step 1: Go to My Project in the left sidebar.

  • Go to My Project in the left sidebar.
  • Select your project.
    1. Open the Settings or General Info tab.
    2. Edit fields such as:
      • Project Name
      • Project Description
      • Project Website
      • Uploaded Files

Step 2: Click on the 3 dots icon on the right-side, for “More Options”

  • With the list of More Options open, click on Edit.
  • A right-side drawer will appear with the following options to edit:
    • General Details: edit Project Name and Description.
    • Project Files: upload or remove project files. These files are relevant for writing proposals and generating drafts.
    • Invite Users: invite new project members, remove existing ones or change their roles.

Step 3: Click on “Update” to Save Changes

Project Description

  1. Keep language simple and broad for better matches.
  2. You can always edit your project later.
  3. Avoid overly technical jargon—Scout matches your project against grants using broad keywords.

Example: “We are a San Francisco-based startup developing a solar-powered water purification system to serve rural communities.”
