As funders move towards limiting applications keeping on top of funding has never been more important.

Advanced Costing Tool

Build precise costings for Applications, Awards, Transfer-Ins, and Supplements. So you can always stay on top of the money.

Costings move through a clear Draft → Submitted → Approved / Rejected → Closed pipeline. Approvers see all pending costings in a single queue with fEC totals and submission dates. A clear audit trail records every decision before submission deadlines.
