How Kuali Works With GrantForward

Kuali Research is now proudly offering GrantForward integration capabilities for new and existing account holders. With this integration, institutions can streamline grant research and proposal writing and remove the friction that holds them back. Time-consuming processes that were once manual — such as entering data, correcting errors, reviewing, and approving — can be simplified and even eliminated.

So how does it work? Using the integration, institutions can directly create proposals using results from their GrantForward searches. The information from these results is loaded directly into the proposal with a single click of a button, eliminating the need to download information and store it locally. All information is housed in the Kuali Research application, making it easy for approvers to review and authorize proposals without needing to switch between platforms. When integrating with GrantForward, Kuali Research users can experience many real benefits right from the start: 

• Simplify processes for proposal creation and approval
• Reduce turnaround time between searching for funding and submitting a proposal 
• Begin the proposal with one click inside GrantForward
• Pay no integration fee
