This report analyses the length of time it takes for arts funding agencies to complete a grants giving process, from application closing date (or receipt of applications) through to notifying applicants of results.

The short report presents data for both peer-assessed and non-peer-assessed grantmaking systems, and for both project and annual/multi year grants. The report also provides figures for three stages of the grant administration process: 
•             processing applications
•             review and assessment (includes assessment time and meeting time)
•             processing the results/notification
