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…

Import publications/integration
Develop a way to integrate with additional tools such as Digital Measures. Our faculty use that program much more extensively than they do ORCID and it would be nice to be able to import their publications from that system.

Role vs Title in Profiles
Add an optional text field for Title in addition to the required Role field. Currently in Gallery, I designate which profiles to include by Role. Many faculty have Titles they use in the Role field. Example, Dr. Smith could be a Professor (Role) and Associate Vice Chancellor for Research (Title). I want both to appear in their profile to help ensure I am capturing all faculty by role.

Keywords should be linked in a way to search across profiles and promote connecting users.
Within the profile detail, any keyword should be a link to the search results for that very keyword. Even better, it could be a link to a listing of users who have also included that same keyword.
I understand that you can do this manually with the advanced search, but why not automate it and help make connections easier.

Tracking system for Submission of a New Opportunity
When we submit a New Opportunity, there is no follow up if it gets posts. Could there be a tracking/ticketing system so we know when that opportunity is posted?

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.

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.…

Flag when an opp appears in a saved/curated search/list
I often want to know if the particular opp I am viewing already appears in a saved search, curated search, or curated list. The current way to do this is to move the opp to a new tab (to keep track of the exact title, ID number, etc.) and then slog through individual searches/lists to see if the opp appears in each.
To make this situation more user friendly, on each opp page, please add an "Appears In" list of saved/curated searches/lists. (This would probably fit best below the "Send feedback" link in the right-side menu.) It would be most…

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.

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?

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,

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.

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?

Ability to save Awarded Grant searches and export results. Visualizations or additional facets to make this data more flexible would also be great!
