For Research Development Offices

Scale Research Development Support Across the Entire Campus

Research development offices are expected to help more faculty pursue funding without increasing admin burden or putting sensitive research ideas at risk. Quillify helps your office search, draft, and evaluate grants on behalf of professors in their specific niche, so more researchers can get support, more proposals can move forward, and no professor is left behind.

Help Every Professor Pursue Funding Without Overloading Your Office

Research development offices sit at the center of pre-award support, but the demand is bigger than any team can manage manually. Faculty across different disciplines need funding guidance, proposal support, and opportunity matching, yet not every professor knows where to start or feels confident enough to pursue grants on their own.

Quillify helps your office extend that support campus-wide. Your team can perform search queries, draft and evaluate grant proposals, and guide professors in their specific niche without flattening the nuance of their work.

Because Quillify supports administrative workflows without endangering intellectual property, your office can amplify its usefulness across the university, reduce repetitive pre-award strain, and help more faculty compete for funding faster.

Campus-Wide Support at Scale

Give more professors a real path into grants, even the ones who would normally opt out because grant writing feels too hard.

Challenges

Why Research Development Offices Need More Than a Basic Grant Search Tool

Not Every Professor Feels Ready to Pursue Grants

Some faculty members avoid grant opportunities altogether because proposal development feels too complex, too time-consuming, or too far outside their comfort zone.

Staff Cannot Give High-Touch Support to Everyone

Research development teams are expected to support more faculty across more disciplines than manual one-on-one workflows can realistically sustain.

Proposal Feedback Can Create Friction

Reviewing weak fit, missing logic, or underdeveloped responses can be sensitive. Offices need a more objective way to guide faculty without turning every correction into a difficult conversation.

Research Ideas and IP Must Be Protected

Administrative support is valuable only if it can happen without compromising confidential research concepts, institutional priorities, or intellectual property.
