Cloud-based tools and services to streamline the process of identifying and approaching all levels of industry to support and grow your research funding
Financial sustainability of research institutions has never been more important than right now.
The ability to identify industry funding that can support your research needs and objectives, and is a good fit with your research strengths is a fundamental step towards achieving that financial sustainability.
Our Industry Profiling system (IPS) prioritises, ranks and displays a selection of over 3000 organisations in terms of their ability and/or track record, to provide a level of funding for your RnD activities. The IPS displays a unique combination of details and metrics for industry organisations, presented in a clear and graphical way for users to see quickly identify what industry funding options are available including many that may not have previously been on an institutional radar.
Being a cloud-based, site-wide accessible system, allows your institution’s staff to quickly identify those organisations that meet their individual funding needs no matter where they are working from. This can expedite the complete industry funding process saving you time, resources and money spent chasing funding from organisations that are either not a good fit or do not have the financial capability to deliver.
Designed to work in conjunction with the IPS, our most recently developed product FITT (Funding Intelligence Training Tool), combines the IPS analysed data regarding an organisation’s viability, R&D capacity and needs with an intelligent process driven system that guides researchers through the steps of approaching suitable organisations with a proposal to fund their research. Using the process and built in recommendations, the researcher is guided through each step of approaching organisations for funding whilst training them on best practice towards achieving a successful outcome.
Align your university and research needs with the most suitable industry partners using a range of metrics and industry data to assess which industry partner is in the best position to provide support for your research.
Track all interaction with industry and engagement activities and collate for purposes of government assessment exercises and promotion of your university to other organisations you wish to collaborate with.
Enter the details of your research idea or proposal and find potential industry to collaborate with.
Track your idea as it progresses to a funding application and/or research project, and align outputs and outcomes describing a full pathway to impact
Get a complete picture of your research from inception of the research idea, grants and funding, research activity, outputs and engagement (both community and industry), through to the final research outcomes and impact.
Record details of societal impact from collaborative research from individual researchers across associated projects or by field of research. Impact can be proposed and actual impact, recorded before, during and at the conclusion of project activity.
Use your collected impact and engagement information to promote your university within the research community and wider audiences.
