More options regarding frequency to receive funding alerts
There should be a broader menu of options on how often to receive a funding alert. Right now, it's every Sunday.
The faculty at my institution would like a once per month option. Once per week is overwhelming for them and results in too many emails. We're a small university and don't have departmental staff to help faculty sift through all of the results.
Thus, a drop down bar that allows users to choose their frequency would be best: maybe daily, weekly, every two weeks and monthly.

OPT-IN Groups: User/Admin notification
I have created a number of public opt-in groups. As the Admin, I would like to have an automatic notice when a User signs up for the group. I would also like the User to receive an automated email explaining what to expect and where to view the listings. Is that possible?

Additional Sorting Criteria for Awards
Would it be possible to add additional sorting criteria (or filters) to search results for awards? Relevance and Institution are currently available as sorting criteria. I would love to see other ones like date, dollar amount, or PI. Even though search results are not necessarily complete (that's just the nature of the beast), I can see there being lots of uses for searching awards that use the proposed criteria, for example to see what funding a particular researcher has secured over time.

Newsletters
It would be great if Newsletters had increased customization options. For example, a great function would be to customize the curated opps content. I'd like to remove/move curated opps from outgoing Newsletters. For example, I have worked on curating a set of funding opps with various deadlines. When I add the curated list to the Newsletter, I don't have the ability to remove opps from displaying on the Newsletter - say that I only want to show opps with deadlines in Q2 for a Spring Newsletter, so that I'm only displaying a handful of results rather than the entire list.…

PIVOT Huron Integration
For institutions using a grant lifecycle platform like Huron. It would be a great help to have the same integration PIVOT has with Cayuse 424 which has the "Start a Proposal " button and populates sponsor information.

More Robust Newsletter Custom Message Options
In the Newsletter Step 3: Add a Heading & Custom Message is currently limited in the custom message section to just bold, italics, link, bullets or numbers. If this section could be expanded to allow for an image, heading, color, font, center, etc. it would be beneficial. These changes would allow us to utilize the Newsletter feature and take advantage of how effortless it would be to send out funding opportunities at our institution. You can change the image in Custom Branding for Newsletter Email Logo, however, it makes it very small at the top of the email. The ability…

Visibility of non-lead schemes
In relation to adding scheme pages, I have had previous communications with members of the RP team where they have explained that the scheme is on RP but not visible to non-lead countries. This excludes a significant number of schemes where non-lead countries are eligible to participate as co-leads or collaborators, with associated funding (which can be in the millions). Could RP please modify the visibility policy so that we can continue to promote these opportunities to our researchers. Previously we added them manually to our curated RP bulletin.

Invited only submissions (or 2nd stage) needs to be more prominent
Quite a few calls (e.g. UKRI funding finder) are being flagged as new calls, but they are in fact the second stage and only for those who have been invited to submit.
It would be great if there was a functionality on Pivot that made this very clear (e.g. a separate box stating 'invite only'). At the moment it would be buried amongst the overview text, or not at all, and this info is only available when you go to the specific call site.1 vote -

Add "match any/match all" choice to keyword field in Conferences and Papers Invited
Similar to how it works for funding opportunities, it would be useful to toggle to "match all" in the keyword field for Conferences and Papers Invited to narrow down results.

List of collaborators on expert profile pages
When looking for experts in a given field, if they don't have the very specific expertise, or there is a need to identify others in the same field, having a list of co-authors and collaborators listed on the expert profile page would be helpful.

Add Institution Type Criteria to Advanced Searches to Ensure Eligibility
It was brought to my attention that the SPIN database allows users to make selections regarding "Institution Type" (or something like that) when creating an advanced search. We realized that since we don't have this capability, we really ought to be adding a disclaimer to the curated searches we share, because there's no way to ensure that the list includes only opps that our institution is eligible to apply to. It would be helpful for Pivot to begin tracking and labeling this criteria for opportunities, especially those that are eligible only to MSIs or HBCUs.

Schedule weekly emails differently
I would like to change the schedule of weekly alerts, for example, instead of firing during the weekend, I would like to receive it in other days during the week. Is there any way to control the weekly email digest?

We would like to be able to have the same share option for the paper opportunities as we do with the funding opportunities.
