# Understanding Registration vs Application Templates

| Registration Templates                                          | Application Templates                                   |
| --------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Captures **profile information** about the applicant            | Captures **project or funding request** details         |
| Set **once** (it is editable) and applies to all funding rounds | Usually **changes** with each funding cycle or grant    |
| Used during the applicant **sign-up** process                   | Used when an applicant **applies for specific funding** |
| Less frequently modified                                        | Frequently modified and updated                         |
| Two templates (Individual and Organisation)                     | Multiple templates (one per funding round type)         |
