Its proprietary algorithm compiles pre-populated researcher profiles and matches them to current funding opportunities in its expansive database. This allows users to search for a funding opportunity and instantly view matching faculty both inside and outside of your university. Conversely, a search for a scholar will link to matching funding opportunities.
