Funding that finds you.More time on science, less time on grants.

The fastest way is a tool that matches grants to your actual work instead of your keywords: Atom builds a profile from your publications and prior funding, reads every funding call, and emails you a short weekly digest of the grants that fit. Every grant is checked against your eligibility first (career stage, citizenship, institution type, prior awards). Grants.gov is free and lists every open federal opportunity, but you have to search it yourself and it doesn't cover foundations or industry.

Atom is licensed to institutions, so most researchers get access through their university, medical center, or institute. Many institutions on Atom got there because a researcher made the introduction, and Atom will send you what you need to make the case to your VPR or office of sponsored programs. If you need something today, Grants.gov is free for federal calls, and Candid's Foundation Directory is free at partner libraries.

No. Atom builds your profile from your publications and prior funding, so matched grants arrive without a form, a keyword list, or a login. When you do want to search, you can describe your work in plain language, the way you would to a colleague.

AI matching reads what your research is about, so it finds grants that describe the same work in different words, which keyword search misses. Atom delivers 5x better matches than keyword search, and its weekly digest averages a 78% open rate. Sean Higinbotham, PhD, Associate Scientist in Orthopedics at Denver Health, says the matches feel more relevant to the substance of his work, not just surface terms.

Yes. When you link an opportunity, Atom builds a section-by-section guide from the solicitation with the eligibility rules, required documents, and budget caps, then critiques your draft against the funder's review criteria, such as NIH study section or NSF merit review, before a human reviewer sees it. You can also ask questions about the call (page limits, allowable costs, indirect rates) and get answers cited to the RFP.

Atom's collaborator search finds co-PIs whose work fits the grant across millions of researcher profiles, with the publications and grants behind every match. You can filter by methods, populations, instruments, and prior funding, which helps for center grants, training programs, and multi-PI awards.

Yes. Ask Atom's Deep Research agent about a small foundation, a niche mechanism, or a one-off opportunity, and it returns a qualified shortlist in minutes, with a brief covering the requirements, why it fits, and next steps. Atom tracks 20,000+ foundations alongside every federal agency, and ranks foundation and federal grants together by fit.

Researchers on Atom get 5+ hours back every week, because Atom reads the calls, checks eligibility, and ranks the few grants that fit instead of leaving you to search and sort. Most weeks the only thing you open is the digest, and the proposal guides, cited answers, and draft review are there when it's time to write.
