Introducing AI-Powered Search Filters and Eligibility Profiles

We’re excited to announce a major upgrade to Atom Grants as part of our v2 launch: AI-powered search filters and eligibility profiles! Our mission has always been to make finding and applying for grants as seamless as possible, and this new feature is a huge step forward.

Search Like You Talk

Gone are the days of wrestling with clunky keyword searches. With our new AI-powered filters, you can simply type your request as you would to a colleague:

Other examples of what you can type:

• "Recently listed grants from foundations worth over $500k"

• "Postdoc fellowships from the NSF due soon"

• "NIH clinical trials for early career professors"

Our system will understand your intent, extract the relevant filters, and instantly show you the most relevant opportunities.

Why We Built This

Staying Ahead of the Curve

Competitors are starting to roll out semantic search, and frankly at this point we believe this should be the standard for all search engines. Keyword searches just don’t cut it, context matters. For example, “chemistry” can mean very different things depending on the field. Our AI ensures you get results that truly match your needs.

Listening to Our Users

User feedback showed us that many people naturally try to search as if they’re talking to a human. We want to reduce the learning curve for new faculty and researchers, making it easier than ever to find and apply for your first (or next) grant.

Your AI Assistant for Grant Eligibility: Profile Generation

And it gets even better: we’re introducing AI-powered profile generation, your own personal assistant built into Atom Grants.

Instead of filling out forms manually, our system helps you build and maintain a researcher profile in seconds. Whether you’re updating your CV, changing institutions, or shifting focus areas, your profile stays up to date, and our eligibility engine uses that to give you the most accurate, real-time grant matches.

It’s proactive, it’s personalized, and it ensures you never miss an opportunity because of outdated info.
