ProposalCentral overview

What is ProposalCentral?

ProposalCentral is a cloud-based software designed to help research and funding institutions automate the entire grants management lifecycle, from application processing to fund allocation. Supervisors can utilize artificial intelligence (AI) technology to configure approval workflows and gain visibility into the potential outcomes or results of applicants.

ProposalCentral allows organizations to create assignments, collaborate with researchers, schedule payments, and generate performance reports for donors and boards. Managers can evaluate the impact of research programs, store award or grant-related information in a centralized database, and receive automated notifications about applicants’ approval status. It also lets users secure confidential information and receive automated email reminders for pending tasks.

ProposalCentral integrates with Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID), enabling institutions to track and maintain a record of applicants’ past publications or research works. The software also helps candidates apply for grants and share real-time progress with funders.
