  1. Delineate between low, medium and high value 'unspecified' values.

    If the value of an opportunity is below say $9,999, between $10K-$49,999 or >$50k in a currency they could be grouped, so that we can filter out low value unspecified opportunities, but not miss the high value ones.

    For many researchers their search contains a high number of unspecified value opportunities, and to manually go through all of these to see if they are of high enough value to be of interest for Mid and Established researchers is off-putting for researchers.

    If there was a filter by value group, they could only include ones of high value, and filter out…

  2. Allow multiple funders for Internal Opportunities

    Internal opps can be co-funded to promote collaboration between institutions. For example two university will promote a scheme where each institution funds their own researcher under a join application.

    It would be beneficial to be able to add multiple funders to an internal opp in order to accurately detail the opportunity.

    A further enhancement would be able to have internal opps shown to the multiple funders, if they are also subscribed to Pivot-RP.

  3. Highlight NEW curated opportunities in Newsletters

    It would be helpful for our researchers who receive multiple newsletters if there was a way to highlight opportunities that have been newly added to each week's newsletter. For example, the option of a "NEW" tag that only stays live for one week. This increases the value of the newsletter and decreases the time required for researchers to note relevant content.

  5. Add extra information to opps in Tracked Opp List

    When opportunities appear in the Tracked Opp list , it is only the opportunity name that shows, which can be difficult when multiple opportunities have similar names, e.g. "Research Fellowship".

    It would be beneficial to see additional opp detail in this list, especially funder information, in order to differentiate between similarly named opps, and to be consistent with other parts of Pivot-RP

  6. Carry across formatting

    For generic notes specific to internal processes and applicable to all annotated opportunities, it would be helpful if the desired formatting (bold, bullet points, and hyperlinks if possible) could carry across in cut and paste. As it is, for every entry, we have to redo all the formatting and hyperlinks in a tiny box which is very fiddly and time-consuming.

  8. add notes to tracked opportunities

    I would like to add notes about a tracked opportunity on the tracking page. It'd be nice to add things like "check if my PI is already a member of this society" or "requires preliminary data" so I can manage my application materials a little bit better.

  9. Please add a log in prompt via Newsletter links

    Newsletter links take researchers directly to scheme pages but without a prompt to login, they do not see deadlines and notes added by the institution and will be unaware these are available. Until a prompt is added, we will need to add a highlighted notice to the free-text section of our Newsletter instructing users to login to view all details. However, this notice will undoubtedly be overlooked by many users, leading to time-consuming back and forth between researchers and grants officers which the added information is meant to avoid.

  10. 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.

  11. Please make the Notes field expandable so that more of note can be viewed.

    The scrolling function for the small amount of visible text is extremely sensitive which makes editing in a long note very difficult.

  12. Display funder name in calendar view

    The calendar view would be more useful if the funder name was displayed on the label with the award name. For instance, I want to create a calendar with major early career awards but the majority have generic names like "young investigator award" or "new faculty award." Someone had asked for a similar update to enable this feature in the details view, but it would be optimal to have the names on the labels too, before opening up the details view.

  13. Search criteria to include 'confirmed' opportunities

    With large multi-disciplinary institutes particularly, it would be good if the search itself could contain the requirement to only show confirmed opportunities (those that the rounds dates are confirmed by the funder), as opposed to having to filter post the search.

    This would be particularly good for searches associated with newsletters, as then the list is not hundreds to thousands of currently irrelevant opportunities when there are plenty of confirmed opportunities to focus on.

    Additionally this would allow for a search to be set-up for anticipated opportunities, above a certain value that are worth being prepared for.

  15. 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.

  17. Allow more than three key words in a search

    It would be nice to be able to use as many keywords as needed in a funding search. We are creating curated searches for specific research areas and in order to get the results we want it requires the use of more than three keywords. It would be nice to be able to capture everything in one search rather than have multiple searches to serve the same group. For instance, there are many different keywords to capture relevant opportunities in quantum science and engineering, but having to choose only three forces a choice that leaves out many relevant opportunities. It…

  18. Make 'Subject' in emails from pivot-trackedalert@proquest.com specific rather than generic

    When university admin adds/updates university specific information e.g. deadline or Note, an email is sent from pivot-trackedalert@proquest.com. Emails sent out from this email address all have the same generic subject 'Update from Pivot-RP'.

    When an email is sent from pivot-no-reply@proquest.com (following an opportunity updated by Pivot-RP), the subject line includes the name of the funder eg 'Updated Funding Opportunity - American Heart Association (AHA)'

    Is there some way to edit the subject so that emails advising on an internal update also pick up the scheme name?

    Without some information as to what has been updated the emails are not…

  20. Please let us choose timing for sending newsletter

    Hi Pivot-RP Team,

    Could you please allow us to specify more delivery times for sending newsletters. The system allows us to send newsletters at two USA time zones which coincides with 9pm and 4am Australia time, hence it lowers visibility counts by users. Therefore we need to send newsletters during working hours of Australian timing zone.

    Regards,
    Muhammad
