Develop grants are short-term grants to help teams to unpack a complex issue and to identify the systemic behaviours that have created that issue, or that are holding the issue in place. Develop grants help teams to generate ideas for a project plan to influence or change these behaviours that can then be submitted to funders in the future. 

*Develop grants are a one-stage application. 


Test grants are multi-year grants to help project teams test their influence on systems and to learn what leads to change.

*Test grants are a two-stage application.


Scale grants are multi-year grants to help project teams extend the influence of an existing systems change project to a different scale within the system. 

*Scale grants are a two-stage application. 

*Applicants begin their application by completing the first stage of questions, and if successful, are then invited to complete the remaining questions.
