Aug 25 Funding

When sponsors restrict the number of proposals your institution can submit (e.g., NIH, NSF), coordinating internal competitions quickly and fairly is essential. Common roadblocks include:

Missed deadlines due to manual communication
Poor visibility into who is submitting what
Difficulty managing routing and approvals across departments
Lack of documentation to support fair selection
