Every researcher knows that generating groundbreaking ideas is only half the battle. The other, sometimes much more frustrating, half is finding the right funding to turn those ideas into reality.
Despite countless grant databases and calls for proposals, the process is still fragmented, time-consuming, and inefficient:
- You switch between multiple websites and funding portals.
- You waste hours reading eligibility requirements and outdated listings.
- You struggle to match your research focus with suitable grants.
- And sometimes, you only hear about a relevant opportunity after the deadline.
All of this takes time away from what really matters: your research.
SCiNiTO Solves This with Smart, Filterable Grant Discovery
At SCiNiTO, we’ve built an AI-powered research platform that puts grant discovery right where it belongs — inside your research workflow.
- With our Smart Search feature, you can now:
- Filter by document type = Grant
- Narrow results by field, subject, author, institution, funder, and more
- Read full project summaries, funding amounts, timelines, and PI details
- Save promising grants into your projects or share with collaborators
This turns grant discovery from a scattered search into a targeted, time-saving process. Whether you're planning your next project or benchmarking similar work, SCiNiTO makes it seamless.
