The GrantOtter Approach

A short introduction to how GrantOtter turns your research identity into targeted funding opportunities — and keeps your whole application organized in one place.

Everything You Need to Win Funding

Seven tools that take you from researcher profile to submission-ready — in one place.

🏠

My Workspace

Your central hub. Manage your researcher profile, preferred collaborators, saved grant opportunities, and previous proposals — all from one place.

📖

My Applications

End-to-end application hub. Link a grant, assemble your team, attach draft concepts and supporting documents, track tasks with a color-coded checklist, and bulk-download everything as a ZIP.

🔍

Generate Profile

AI searches Google Scholar, PubMed, ORCID, NIH RePORTER, and your faculty page to build a comprehensive profile — covering research expertise, grant history, financial parameters, and grant suitability as PI or co-investigator.

🎯

Match Grants

A three-stage pipeline — hard eligibility filters, rule-based scoring, then AI-powered alignment analysis — ranks your top matches from federal and foundation funding opportunities with plain-language rationale for each.

👥

Find Collaborators

Search an institution-wide faculty pool by research expertise to discover potential team members. Add collaborators to your preferred list and pull them into any application or brainstorming session.

💡

Draft Concepts

Select a grant and a research team, and GrantOtter generates 2–3 tailored proposal concepts — each with a working title, specific aims outline, innovation score, and estimated budget breakdown.

📄

Create Biosketch

Generate a draft NIH Biographical Sketch tailored to your target grant, covering all four required sections. Use the output to populate your SciENcv common form before submission.

How It Works

Five steps from researcher profile to submission-ready application.

1

Build Your Profile

Enter your name and institution. AI searches the web and generates a comprehensive profile covering expertise, grants, publications, and budget parameters.

2

Match Grants

Set your filters and run the three-stage matching pipeline. Get your top ranked opportunities with AI-written rationale, emailed directly to your inbox.

3

Build Your Team

Search the institution faculty pool to find collaborators by research expertise. Add preferred team members to your workspace for use across all applications.

4

Draft & Write

Generate proposal concepts with your team, then produce a draft NIH biosketch tailored to your target grant — ready to fill into SciENcv.

5

Manage Applications

Organize everything in My Applications — link the grant, attach your documents, track submission tasks with due dates, and download the full package as a ZIP.
