The Challenge
Securing research funding requires navigating a fragmented landscape of grant databases across federal agencies, private foundations, and international bodies. Research offices and principal investigators face the time-consuming task of manually monitoring dozens of funding sources, assessing fit, and building compelling applications—all while managing active research programs.
- Grant opportunities are scattered across NIH, NSF, Wellcome Trust, EU Horizon, SBIR/STTR, and dozens of other databases with no unified search
- Assessing program fit manually requires reading through lengthy funding opportunity announcements and comparing them to a lab’s publication history
- Tracking which grants produced which published outcomes is critical for impact reporting but nearly impossible to maintain manually
- Identifying collaborative funding opportunities based on complementary research profiles requires cross-institutional coordination that most tools don’t support
The Autohive Solution
Autohive agents powered by the Scite integration bring all major grant databases into a single search environment and connect funding data directly to published research outcomes—giving your team a complete picture of the funding landscape.
Unified Cross-Agency Grant Search
Agents search across NIH, NSF, Wellcome Trust, EU Horizon, and SBIR/STTR databases simultaneously, applying topic keywords and funding criteria to surface the most relevant active opportunities for your research area.
Outcome-Linked Funding Analysis
Every grant result is automatically cross-referenced against Scite’s publication database via DOI citations, allowing agents to surface what research a funding program has actually produced—invaluable context for crafting compelling applications aligned with proven funder priorities.
Trend Tracking and Collaborative Intelligence
Agents track funding patterns across agencies over time and identify collaborative opportunities by matching your team’s publication history and research topics against funded investigators at other institutions.
Benefits
- Never miss a relevant opportunity - Monitor all major grant databases without manual checking
- Better application targeting - Match your research profile to funders with proven investment in your area
- Stronger applications - Cite evidence of what funders have supported and published to demonstrate alignment
- Impact reporting - Automatically link your funded work to its published outcomes for grant renewals and institutional reporting
- Collaborative discovery - Find potential co-investigators and multi-PI opportunities based on research alignment
How It Works
- Define your research profile - Configure your agent with research keywords, funding agencies of interest, and your team’s publication history
- Run simultaneous grant search - Agents query all configured grant databases and return ranked, relevant funding opportunities
- Link grants to outcomes - Each grant result is cross-referenced against published research to show what similar funded work has produced
- Track funding trends - Agents monitor funding volumes and priority shifts across agencies over time
- Build Collections - Curate saved grant opportunities and linked papers into organized Collections for team collaboration and application preparation
