Research leaders running on Atom
Proof
The data research leaders need to make the case
Most research leaders walk into provost meetings with engagement numbers their team built in a spreadsheet, and pipeline counts their OSP director rebuilt for the slide. Atom replaces both with a live system of record: same numbers, every meeting, by department and college.

To assemble a leadership-ready research report
“Our admin analytics give research leaders the data they need to make the case internally, including how our institution stacks up.”
Robert Kearns
Senior Manager, Business Solutions · NYU Langone Health
Oversight
From drafting to awarded. Across every college.
Every proposal (with PI, funder, amount, deadline, and decision date) in one place. The picture you used to ask OSP for in quarterly slides, ready when you open it.
“We are seeing more and more departments doing their own little thing, and we'd rather bring people together to the table and actually give them a tool that works for everybody.”

Analytics & ROI
Engagement by department, and what it returned
Atom's admin layer surfaces who's logging in, what they're searching, and which grants are landing, across the institution and per researcher. The metrics leadership actually reports on are first-class: weekly active faculty, digest opens, saved grants, and submissions tied to dollars.
“I just saw our uptake numbers compared to the old system and we are seeing 3x engagement uptick already.”
