hycal-arch/ResearchGrantManagementSystem ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a Laravel web app for managing research grants.

I want a simple system where users can sign in, submit grant applications, and track the status of each request from draft to review to approved or rejected. Admin staff should be able to see all applications in one place, review the details, add comments, update status, and keep basic records for each grant and applicant.

Please make it feel like a real dashboard, with clean pages for listing applications, viewing a single application, creating new ones, and managing the workflow. It should also include the usual Laravel setup so I can run it locally, use migrations, and have a basic responsive interface.

If anything is unclear, make sensible choices and keep it straightforward. Use current Laravel best practices, and look up current docs online if you need to.
