The Challenge
In today's political climate, university research faces new and unexpected threats. Federal and private grants are increasingly denied, rescinded, or rejected based on perceived alignment with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) principles, even when those principles are not explicit.
Researchers, especially those from underrepresented groups, and institutions are being disproportionately impacted, threatening decades of academic progress.
Research papers and grant language are now being scrutinized for disqualifying signals, and universities are under pressure to adapt or risk losing millions in research dollars.
What It Does
-
Scans and analyzes research papers, grant applications and research proposals across a closed system for disqualifying language or flagged keywords
-
Continuously updates its criteria based on real-time policies from: National Science Foundation, Ford Foundation, Carnegie Foundation, National Institute of Health, Department of Education and other major funders
-
Recommends smart rewrites to help researchers align research documentation and proposals with funder expectations
-
Supports compliance assurance for university-wide grant processes
