What researchers say

"CONVERGE saves me a lot of time having the opportunities come to me by email. Let's face it, if I have to remember to go look for them, it's never going to happen."

Associate Professor

Engineering

"I like the cultivation of potential grants with the potential fit. Also, the narrative feedback on why it is a good fit and where it is less of a good fit is very helpful."

Professor

Biomedical Sciences

"It's a clean and easy-to-use dashboard. I can quickly see the opportunities that are relevant to my work without having to sort through a lot of information that isn't."
