Understanding Fit Scores

Each match between you and a funding opportunity gets a Fit Score from 0–100, produced by our AI matching engine. The score reflects how well the opportunity's stated focus, eligibility, and keywords line up with your research signals — declared research areas, publications, prior funding, project titles, and any documents (CV, biosketch) on your profile.

Scores are grouped into bands so you can scan a list quickly. The exact thresholds, labels, and colors below are configured by your CONVERGE administrator and may differ at your institution.

Current bands at your institution

Very Strong Fit
90+
Strong Fit
70–89
Moderate Fit
55–69
Potential Fit
40–54

Matches scoring below 40 are not shown — they're considered too weak to surface, but stay in the database so administrators can lower the threshold without re-running matching.
