Grantors and Applicants research and address significant challenges in society. Collaboration is time-consuming; whether in identifying funding needs of researchers, resourcing potential requests for proposals/applications (RFP/RFA), or reporting progress and results. International and in-country organizations spend too much time locating potential grantors and those grantors spend too much time administering grants when they yearn to link with the research community in innovation rather than a maintenance role. All parties prioritize researching, analyzing, and disseminating; however, the business burden of grants compliance overshadows the incredible potential of significant adoption of grants-related research.
