August 23, 2023

⏳ TL;DR

Atom Discovery is a cutting-edge, AI-powered search tool helping researchers looking for grants. With recent updates to our search dashboard and matching algorithms, researchers can now easily find and apply for the most relevant grants in no time.

👬 The Team

Hello folks! We're Tomer and Ham. We've been friends since we met at an incubator in London. We both come from academic backgrounds and have worked at various tech startups before coming together to build Atom. As former scientists we realised that theres just too many distractions from doing pure research today.

🤦‍♂️ The Problem

Getting through the maze of finding suitable grants is a daunting task even for seasoned researchers. Grants.gov is filled with overwhelming information, is cumbersome to navigate and rely mostly on traditional keyword search that often results in a wild goose chase. The result? Discouraged and baffled researchers, pressed for time and resources.

Imagine yourself as a new PI looking for a research grant for the first time and you are presented with this on loading grants.gov:

💡 The Solution

Atom uses advanced search algorithms to simplify the grant search process. Researchers can now swiftly uncover a wider range of relevant grant opportunities just by entering one search input. Already have a proposal abstract? Just paste and find the most suitable grants, no more scrambling through countless keyword searches and poring over redundant information.

🛣️ The Roadmap

We're not stopping here! The vision for Atom is to help researchers along every step of the grant application lifecycle:

<ol> <li>Sending weekly suggestion emails ✅</li> <li> Expanding the dataset to aggregate grants from various private and philanthropic sources ✅ </li> <li>Incorporating filters for more precise search results ✅</li> <li>Creating folders and favouriting to better manage grants ✅</li> <li>Offering analytics and team features to assist back office staff</li> <li>AI co-pilot for drafting grant applications and supporting material.</li> <li>And so many more exciting features we can't wait to tell you about…</li> </ol>

Let Atom navigate the grant maze for you, so you can focus on what's more critical – advancing your research. Our discovery tool has already helped researchers and admin teams reduce their search time from weeks to a matter of hours.
