Strategic visibility for research administration. Your whole institution, in one view.
Atom's analytics platform turns research activity into institution-wide visibility: onboarding faculty in a day, surfacing engagement by department, and quantifying the funding pipeline you're responsible for.
“Our admin analytics give research leaders the data they need to make the case internally, including how our institution stacks up.”
The strategic view of your research enterprise
Atom is the research intelligence layer for your institution. Admins see funding trends, the proposal pipeline, every researcher's activity, and engagement across faculty, department, college, and the whole campus. They make the case for research with data.
A CRM for your entire proposal pipeline
Every proposal is tracked with PI, funder, amount, deadline, and submission notes, at every stage from drafting to declined. Roll up by department or college, export for board reports, and never lose track of what's in motion.
- Live pipeline by stage: drafting → submitted → under review → awarded
- Per-PI, per-department, and per-college rollups for research office reporting
- Exports for board reviews, end-of-year reporting, and compliance
Every researcher, what they're working on, what they're looking at
A searchable directory of every faculty member with their interests, activity, and matched grants. Drop into any researcher's view to see what they're searching, the deep research they've run, and the eligibility they've checked. It is there to support faculty 1:1 or troubleshoot for offices with thin staffing.
- Search researchers by name, department, or research interest
- Profile, recent activity, saved grants, and submissions in one place
- Act as any researcher: search, deep research, and eligibility checks from their POV
Funding trends across your campus and the country
See active funding, win rates, and pipeline value by department, funder, and topic. Benchmark against national trends. Spot the rising areas where your faculty already fit, the at-risk legacy lines, and the funder concentration risks that boards ask about.
- Awards, win rate, and indirect cost recovery by FY, department, funder, and college
- National trend alignment shows where the field is moving and which of your faculty fit
- Funder concentration alerts (e.g. >50% from one source) before the board asks
See engagement at a glance
Atom's admin dashboard shows you who's logging in, what they're searching for, and which grants are landing across the institution, by department, and per researcher. The metrics admins actually report on are first-class: weekly active faculty, digest open rates, saved grants, and submission counts.
- Weekly active faculty, by department, college, or career stage
- Top searches and most-saved grants, an early signal on where the pipeline is forming
- Digest opens, click-throughs, and re-engagement on dormant profiles
Onboarding, permissions, and audit, built in
We build a rich profile for every researcher from public sources, including publications, funding history, expertise, and affiliations, so the platform is useful from day one with zero faculty setup. You review the directory, confirm, and you're live. Mirror your org chart for scoped admin access. Every search, save, invite, and submission is logged and exportable for compliance.
- Auto-imported faculty, auto-built profiles, SAML SSO, zero faculty setup
- Hierarchical departments with inherited permissions and scoped admin views
- Searchable audit trail · every event logged, attributable, and exportable
Analytics, in their words
“This fiscal year we have set records for submissions and I attribute that to the fact people are engaging with Atom.”
“We actually used to try to do that manually… just got to a point of diminishing returns.”
