    Our Commitment

    Systems built over centuries have encouraged us to protect our work, to guard our funding, to gate our breakthroughs. There is exceptional value in holding ourselves to the highest standards in publication and research—but there is also exceptional value in peeling back the layers that have slowed us down to accelerate forward. Open research is here. Altum makes sure you’re ready.

    The possibilities with open science are

    unlimited

    Unlimited.

    When we set a new precedent, we change the game. That’s why Altum has a lofty mission: to revolutionize the research funding process. Clearer functionality. Faster results. More intuitive connections across the board. All of this adds up to boundless potential. That’s the power of smart grants management —and the power of Open Science.

    intelligent

    Intelligent.

    As our world accelerates forward through a deluge of global change, we must evolve how we think about collaboration. Altum is dedicated to this vision—and we are looking at every possible mechanism to empower a smarter, more nimble, more united approach to funding.

    impactfull

    Impactful.

    There has always been urgency in science. And while publication and peer reviews will always be critical to our progress—Open Science is about broader, world-transforming outcomes. Altum streamlines the grants process so researchers can get back to focusing on results.

    empowering

    Empowering.

    Open Science allows everyone from grant managers to CEOs to track research outcomes more effectively than ever before. Researchers can see new opportunities. Philanthropists can identify where their dollars will make the most difference. And the rest of the world can see how change is happening, one breakthrough at a time.

    compre

    Comprehensive.

    For innovation to thrive, resources for research must be extensive yet unified. Yesterday, we looked to one tool for grants management, another for portfolio analysis and evaluation, another for peer-review. We siloed our process—and hindered our results. Altum provides an end-to-end grants management platform that drives funding efficiency and allows for unparalleled visibility and reporting of impact and outcomes.

    accessible

    Accessible.

    When we make the research process available to a wider range of audiences in the scientific sphere, we accelerate advancement. Altum takes a universe of information, gives it structure, and puts it at the fingertips of an entire world of pioneers. Altum democratizes the research funding process by providing an open platform which is used by more than 700,000 researchers and 35,000 institutions around the world.

    intuitive

    Intuitive.

    Open Science is about more than access to information. It’s about finding that information in the most efficient manner out there. With the power to comb through billions of records and research findings within seconds, the Altum platform is, simply put, simple.

    connected

    Connected.

    Before we can revolutionize research, we must connect the dots. Altum unites all the players, pieces, and processes within one comprehensive platform. We empower our users to understand what’s been done, what can be learned, and how to move forward faster than they ever thought possible.

    Altum supports industry standards

    of applicants on ProposalCentral use an ORCID ID (June 2022)

    CHALLENGE
    Without a universal identifier for researchers, it’s difficult to identify applicants, avoid peer review conflict of interest, and manage awardee deliverables.

    Solution
    ORCID allows scientists to manage their biography, career accomplishments, and education information in one place – saving them time and ensuring that the researcher and their outputs are unambiguous.

    how we do it

    CHALLENGE
    Without a universal identifier for researchers and awardees, it’s difficult to identify, track or highlight the work that they do.

    Solution
    With an ORCID ID associated with the researcher, reporting for institutions and funders becomes easier and more accurate.

    how we do it

    We rely on Altum’s ProposalCentral as our platform for grants management. By connecting ORCID data with Crossref DOIs inside of ProposalCentral, we’re able to accurately track the outcomes of our grants and the impact our funded researchers are having long after the award ends.”

    Researchers on Proposal Central are cited in nearly 2 million publications on the platform. (June 2022)

    CHALLENGE
    Without a universal identifier for grants, it’s difficult to see the connections between awards and outputs.

    Solution
    Crossref ensures that every grant is clearly and uniquely identified, making it easy to understand the relationships between funding and impact.

    how we do it

    crossref-orcid

    CHALLENGE
    The Holy Grail for boards and donors is to show the return on investment associated with research grants. This is incredibly challenging today. First you must establish the connections between awardees, grants, publications, and patents. Then you must visualize those connections. Doing this without persistent identifiers is vexing, laborious, and prone to fail.

    Solution
    Altum Insights enables grant makers to see the connections instantly and accurately between people, programs, and publications. Funders that require the use of ORCID IDs for all applicants and who push grants to the Crossref Registry get the highest return.
