Strengthen your grant applications with detailed data

Compete effectively for research funding, with hard evidence of your reach and influence

Research projects keep your academic institution competitive and are key to driving growth. 

But there’s growing competition for grants to fund this research – which means that when you’re submitting grant applications, you have to make your institution stand out from the crowd. 

Funders need to be convinced that your institution has strong reach and influence, and that your projects have the potential to make a real-world impact. 

So for the best chance of securing funding, your applications must clearly show the success of your researchers. However, traditional bibliometrics can’t provide the detailed picture that many funders want. 

That’s where time-saving Altmetric comes in. It fills in all the gaps so you can tell funders the full story, with ultra-specific data on how your research is impacting the world. 

Uncover the data that proves your success 

1. Altmetric Explorer looks beyond citation analysis to track thousands of online mentions – policy documents, mainstream news outlets, social media, blogs, Wikipedia, online reference managers, and more – and collates them in one user-friendly platform.

• Improve grant application success – by showing funders evidence of your research’s reach and broader influence, so they can understand its benefits and intended impacts
  
• Show clear evidence – by searching for a list of DOIs relevant to the grant, finding attention highlights, and pulling out examples of mentions from the details pages
  
• Support your researchers – by easily tracking the activity surrounding their research, managing their online reputations, and uncovering examples of the broader impacts of their work

2. Institutional Repository badges – embed the colourful Altmetric Badges in your IR, showcasing the attention given to your research. The badges update automatically as new mentions are found.
