Researcher Profile

Researcher Profiles is a system that allows researchers and administrators to quickly and easily identify key interests from their research history. You can easily upload interest sources such as publication pages, CVs or Google Scholar profiles; our system automatically extracts and infers a researchers' interests in minutes. Your institution retains full control over profiles - you can edit, update and export information in seconds.



Profile features included in the GrantForward subscription:

  • Create, Edit & Update
  • Visualize & Share
  • Browse by Name
  • Social Profile
  • Recommend Profiles for Opportunities


Multi-Campus Systems

For the upcoming fiscal year, GrantForward is offering a discount for multi-campus systems. Additional campuses may be added to the subscription at a 30% discount of their price-point (the largest campus will be considered the "primary" for pricing purposes) as long as the institutions share their primary identifier. For example, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Springfield and Chicago share a common identifier and are a part of the same system. Please call us at 1-312-588-6348 or email us at Subscribe@GrantForward.com for more information.



Cancellation / Refund Policy

If your institution would like to cancel its subscription, please contact us at Subscribe@GrantForward.com or at 1-312-588-6348. We would love the opportunity to rectify any problems with our service, but are happy to provide a prorated refund based on the remaining, unused portion of the service period.

Future Rates

We are dedicated to keeping GrantForward as affordable as possible; we know that one of IRIS' strengths was its accessibility to smaller institutions and that is something that we do not want to jeopardize. We do plan on adding value to the GrantForward search engine -- and that does mean adding some cost. However, we promise that any significant feature addition/cost increase will come a la carte; that is, your institution is free to pick and choose exactly what it requires. This is, of course, above and beyond all of the features in the current GrantForward search site and the regular improvements that we will continue to make.
