The term "grant recipient" refers to an individual or organization that has been awarded a grant, which is essentially a sum of money given for a specific purpose. In other words, it's someone who receives financial assistance from a government agency, foundation, or other funding source as part of a competitive application process. Grant recipients use the funds to achieve their goals and objectives, whether that be supporting research, providing services, or advancing education in a particular field. The grantor (the entity providing the money) typically sets certain conditions and requirements for using the funds, which must be met by the grantee (the individual or organization receiving the grant).
