Every proposal, outlined, reviewed, tracked. Before reviewers see it.
Atom Proposals manages every grant your team is working on. It auto-builds a guide for every RFP, outlines each section from your prior work, and runs an AI proposal review against funder criteria.
“It's incredibly efficient. You're creating great efficiency in the review, which is hugely manual at this institution. What you're developing is absolutely essential.”
The whole proposal lifecycle, in one workspace
Atom turns every saved opportunity into a structured proposal workspace. The pipeline shows what's drafting, in review, and submitted. Each proposal arrives with a built guide, section templates, and an AI reviewer ready to evaluate the draft against the funder's actual scoring rubric.
Every proposal your team is working on, in one view
Atom is the system of record for the proposals your team is moving through. Every saved opportunity becomes a tracked proposal that moves from Drafting to In Review to Submitted, with the PI, deadline, agency, and award size on the card.
- Filter the board or list view by PI, agency, deadline, mechanism, or stage
- Each card shows AI-outlined aims, deadline, and the latest reviewer flag
- Submitted proposals stay in the pipeline so your team can track scoring and resubmissions
Every RFP becomes a structured project guide
Atom reads each solicitation end-to-end: every page of the call, the program guidelines, footnotes, and supplementary docs. It turns all of it into a clean guide covering funder, deadline, award structure, eligibility, required documents, and the funder's stated priorities. The guide is ready the moment the proposal is created.
- Eligibility flags surface before drafting starts (career stage, citizenship, prior funding)
- Required documents auto-tracked, with templates for each
- Funder priorities and reviewer rubric extracted from the call
Every draft reviewed against the funder's actual rubric
Atom evaluates each section the way reviewers will: innovation, approach, preliminary data, broader impacts, and the formatting specs that quietly cost points. Every flag cites the rubric criterion, the line in the draft, and a concrete fix.
- Reviews innovation, approach, aims testability, preliminary data, broader impacts
- Catches the formatting and compliance issues reviewers quietly mark down
- Every flag is concrete: cites the line, the rubric criterion, and the suggested fix
First drafts, built from the funder guide and your prior work
Atom outlines each required section, from Specific Aims to Broader Impacts, pulling from the PI's publications, prior funding, and the funder's stated priorities. Faculty start from a working draft, not a blank page.
- Section-by-section outlines tuned to the funder's review criteria
- Citations pulled in automatically from the PI's prior work
- Atom rewrites or extends any section in-line, on request
Researchers, collaborators, research administration, and AI in one workspace
Atom replaces the email chain between faculty and research administration with a shared workspace. Researchers and their collaborators edit the draft together, the AI Reviewer scores each section against the funder's rubric, and research administrators review the same draft in the same view.
- Researchers and collaborators edit drafts side by side, section by section
- AI Reviewer and research administration comments live on the same draft
- Admins greenlight the final draft once it meets the funder's rubric
Proposals, in their words
“Atom is taking the burden away from our pre-award unit because they're guiding the PIs in the submission process.”
“If you're at a PUI or a small office like mine, Atom makes operations far more efficient. It's a labor-saving device.”
