allow us to disseminate calls to a campus wide favorites folder
As administrators we would like to be able to post the selected calls our community would be interested in seeing to a campus-wide favorites folder. This would allow them to view identified opportunities without having to conduct individual searches.
We don't want to have to send individual email notificiations, we would prefer to have a place that they can view these pre-selected results.

Add more funding opportunties to Grant Forward
Grant Forward collects and aggregates funding opportunities from various sources on the web, e.g. grants.gov is one source.
What if Grant Forward is missing some funding opportunities --
* If you are an Administrator (i.e. have access to the Administration Console), you can submit the missing opportunities via the Console. For more details, see http://feedback.grantforward.com/knowledgebase/articles/123808-how-do-i-submit-a-grant-.
* Or you can inform Grant Forward about it by pasting the name and URL of the source in the comment below.0 votes -
add a link to add opportunities

The link above has several awards that are not listed here.
1 voteHey, Lisa,
Thanks for writing us regarding an “add opportunities” link, and the specific opportunities that you included.
I went ahead and added the entries from the source you gave us myself. They should appear in our site in a few days.
As for a link for public submission: we have a submission function within the Grant Forward administration console (http://admin.grantforward.com), but are still considering how we might make this available for more general use.
Thanks for your feedback!
Best,
The Grant Forward Team

Add more specifics to the Administration Console Usage Report
I would like to view a more specific breakdown of the way my researchers are using Grant Forward. This might include the ability to view usage by specific departments, IP-addresses that are associated with my institution, or even specific user accounts.

Create a more-flexible results "export" system
Grant Forward already allows me to export a single-page of my search results, but it would be useful if this system were more flexible.
This might mean: allowing users to export the entire result set, or allowing users to specify specific opportunities via check-boxes. These check-boxes might also allow me to specify opportunities from separate pages (and remember all of the opportunities that I'd checked from previous pages.)

Curated Dissemination
The Administration Console allows administrators to create targeted searches and automatically disseminate opportunities directly to their researchers. However, I would also like the ability to review the results of these searches before they are disseminated to my researchers or faculty and add or subtract entries as necessary.

Eligibility by Location
It would be helpful to restrict or filter searches with location-based information. This could take the form, specifically, of citizenship requirements (only available to residents of a particular country) or area-of-study (available for study in specific countries).

Eligibility by Degree
It would be helpful to restrict or filter searches with degree-related information. This would include academic degrees like B.S., M.S., P.H.D., etc... and might include other attributes such as "Young" or "Junior" Investigator.

Other Eligibility Requirements
There are other eligibility requirements that I would like to use in my pre-award search that may not fit into a broad category. These might include restrictions to women-only or minority-only, or others.

Extend Annotation (Administration Console) to any field
Currently, I can annotate the contact, submission instruction and deadline fields from the Administration Console. I would like the ability to annotate any of the opportunity's information, such as eligibility, amount and description.

Allow for more in-depth Limited Submission classification
The Grant Forward system currently identifies whether a submission is limited in some way, either by PI, institution or geography. However, it does not display which of these (and other) types the opportunity is limited to. I would like the ability to specify this in cases where it is not added automatically by the system.

Add additional Dissemination methods
Currently, I can disseminate opportunities that match a pre-defined search via email. I would like additional methods such as RSS feeds or an website-embedable list, and might also like to choose the attributes (title, description, amount, etc...) that are listed in these notifications.

Online Subscription Payment
While I can view some details of my current subscription status online, I would also like to be able to pay for my institution's yearly subscription via credit card or e-check from the Administration Console.

Embed Grant Forward Search in my department's homepage
I would like the ability to embed a search form for Grant Forward directly in my research administration or department's home page. This might allow researchers to search Grant Forward from my own site, and might display a limited set of results with a link to the Grant Forward site for full-results.

Add Domestic Sponsors with International Focus
I would like to have access to US domestic sponsors that provide opportunities in international countries. These might be travelling fellowships or opportunities that are available to US-based researchers planning on studying in international locations.

Add International Sponsors

Create a user-based question and answer site
The Grant Forward Knowledge Base (http://feedback.grantforward.com/knowledgebase) is good for questions related specifically to Grant Forward, but it would be helpful to have a user-driven question and answer site where Grant Forward users and other researchers/administrators can post questions related to the submission process.
This would not be limited to pre-award search, and might function similar to http://stackexchange.com/

Connect Grant Forward with various social media
I would like to be able to connect my Grant Forward user account with academic social media such as Academia.edu, and non-academic social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
This might take the form of sharing opportunities or specific searches from Grant Forward, or collaborating on the pre-award search process with my colleagues.

Allow users to collaborate in pre-award search and the proposal process
I would like to be able to collaborate with my colleagues in the pre-award search process, and possibly the proposal submission process.
This collaboration engine might have some sort of shared-workspace for tracking interesting opportunities and tasks related to proposal preparation.
