The collaborators a grant needs. Inside your institution, and beyond it.
Atom Collaborators makes every researcher, internal or external, searchable by expertise, and surfaces the right co-PIs the moment a grant calls for them.
Search for researchers
“I ran the same expertise search in Atom that I run on our internal directory to staff review panels. The results were completely different. Atom is much better!”
More than a faculty directory
Atom auto-builds a profile for every researcher, your own faculty and the wider research community alike, and makes both searchable by expertise. The right teammates surface exactly when an opportunity needs them, whether they're down the hall or at another university.
A faculty directory that builds itself
Atom auto-builds a profile for every researcher at your institution from publications, prior funding, ORCID, and your directory, with no faculty setup. Search in plain English and get a ranked list of the right people. Same semantic search engine that powers grant Discovery, pointed at your own faculty.
- Auto-built profiles for every researcher, 0 setup
- Semantic search over expertise tags, abstracts, and funding history
- Filter by department, college, career stage, or topic
Find collaborators across institutions
The same search reaches into a 1.2M-researcher graph indexed from across the internet. On every multi-PI or interdisciplinary grant, Atom surfaces complementary co-PIs ranked by topical overlap: researchers from your institution and from outside it, side by side, each tagged so you know who's already on the platform.
- 1.2M+ external researchers searchable alongside your own faculty
- Cross-PI suggestions on every grant, ranked by topical overlap not org-chart proximity
- Each match tagged Internal or External so you know who to email
Assemble the team and run the workflow
Once the right people are identified, Atom runs the rest. Invite anyone by email, internal faculty or outside collaborators, into a shared grant workspace. For limited submissions, Atom auto-detects the opportunity the moment it posts, ranks the eligible PIs at your institution, and emails the matched faculty, so your team starts the internal process with a shortlist instead of a blank spreadsheet.
- One-click invite from the internal directory or by external email, same flow
- One source of truth for the team's aims, files, drafts, and decisions
- Limited submission notifications the day they post, with eligible PIs ranked
Collaboration, in their words
“I was hacking together prompts, copy-pasting everyone's research interests, manually building spreadsheets, but it was taking forever. Atom Grants just does it.”
“It was about the low barrier to entry, quick implementation and low burden on faculty. That was a big deal for me.”
