Everything about GRP, the Research Collaboration Index and the newsletter.

GRP is the platform where the world's researchers and institutions discover live funding, find the partners who strengthen a bid, and turn their collaboration strengths into recognition. It combines a real-time funding search, a global collaboration index, and a newsletter read by 170,000+ active academics. See how it works →

Active researchers, principal investigators, research-development and strategy teams, and institutional leaders, anywhere in the world. If you win grants, build consortia, or shape research strategy, GRP is built for you. Create a free account →

Yes, the funding search is free, always, with no institutional login. Membership (£9/mo or £79/yr) adds saved searches, deadline alerts and deeper tools, and institutions can partner for more. See membership →

Save searches, get deadline alerts in your field, and follow the calls you can actually act on, so nothing relevant slips past you. Start free →

A database lists everything; a ranking judges once a year. GRP surfaces only the currently-open calls you can apply to, and pairs them with the collaborators and the collaboration standing that help you win. It is decision intelligence, not an archive. How it works →

We query Grants.gov, Horizon Europe, UKRI Gateway to Research, NIH RePORTER and NSF together, and rank the open calls in one list, so you search the whole funding world at once. Search funding now →

The Research Collaboration Index maps how 1,195 universities actually work together, from 26.8 million co-authored records, and every profile shows the partners a university has, and the fundable partners it does not yet, with the programme that would pay for the first project. Explore the index →

Yes. The funding search spans every discipline, the newsletter reaches 55 research fields, and the collaboration index is scored across 26 subject areas. Browse by subject →

Completely. The index is built on the open scholarly record and public funder data, computed identically for every university, and a partnership never changes a position. Read the independence charter →

Funding calls refresh daily from source APIs; the collaboration index uses the open record to 2025 with verified funding to mid-2026. You are never acting on a stale list. See our data sources →

Yes, through an institutional membership or an index partnership, universities use GRP to benchmark their collaboration standing, reach the global academic community, and target the partnerships worth building. For institutions →

Create a free account, run your first funding search, and look up your university on the index. It takes under a minute. Create your free account →

It is the first global ranking of how central a university actually is in the world research network, drawn entirely from the open record of who publishes with whom. Reputation is what others say; collaboration is what a university does, and now it is measured. Explore the index →

On six field-normalised pillars from open data: network influence, partner reach, country diversity, citation impact, sustained partnerships and international intensity. No surveys, no reputation polls, no fees. Read the full methodology →

26.8 million co-authored research records across 1,195 universities (2021-2025), plus the verified award data of the world's major funders. It is fully reproducible from open data. See how it is built →

The full index, every rank, region and subject, goes public on 15 September 2026 with a coordinated global launch. Until then each university can preview its own profile. See the launch →

No. It measures collaboration standing only, a lens, not a verdict on a university's worth. That is precisely what makes it new. Why collaboration →

Because the index rewards genuine connectedness, not prestige. A university that bridges many research communities can be more central than a bigger, more famous one, and the data shows it. See the rankings →

Our highest recognition, earned by any university that ranks among the world's top 200 in a subject's collaboration network. It is earned from the data, never bought. About the awards →

Yes, every one of the 26 subject areas is scored on the same six pillars, so a subject standing is a genuine like-for-like global comparison. Explore subjects →

Every ranked university has a fact file showing its collaboration network, the subjects it leads, and how each figure is built. Find your university →

Yes. The method is fixed, published and reproducible; anyone can rebuild it from the same open data. That is the point. See the methodology →

Recognition for the universities that lead the world in a field's collaboration network, announced at launch and open to partners to feature. See the Subject Awards →

Never, and it never will. The index is free, public and computed identically for every university, partner or not. Partnership licenses depth and reach, not your result. The independence firewall →

A partnership turns your public standing into a working asset: your enhanced fact file, access to your peers' fact files, the Connected Research Institution mark, editorial features, and a named place in the 15 September launch. See partnership options →

No. Your position is earned from open data and is never affected by partnership, that is the whole basis of the index's credibility. Read the charter →

The deep, cited version of your profile: six data visualisations, your funders named, where you lead the world by field, and the specific partners to win next with the funding route to each. See an example fact file →

Yes. Every tier includes access to a set of named peers' enhanced fact files, so you can plan against your competitive set in the same depth. Compare the tiers →

Three: Recognition, Partnership and Flagship, a clear ladder of depth, peer access and reach. Most universities begin with Partnership. See all three →

When the University of Glasgow featured to the full list, that single send reached 147,650 academics, opened at 63.8% (about 2.5x the sector benchmark), across 138 countries, and drove 15,000+ research clicks. Presence with the right audience, measured. See the value →

A licensed mark and branded profile that signals your standing in the global collaboration network, used across your channels for your partnership term. What partners get →

Yes, founding partners confirm ahead of the 15 September launch to verify their data, feature their academics and compete for the Subject Awards. Places are limited and confirmed in order. Confirm a place →

Membership value alone is calculated at standard academic rates, before the fact file, peer benchmarking, features and launch presence. The Glasgow figures show the reach a single feature delivers. See what is included →

Confirm your tier and the few details we need online; we send an agreement and invoice to your finance team. Nothing is charged to a card. Confirm your partnership →

Of course, start with a conversation, not a contract. Submit your data for a no-cost enriched view, or simply enquire. Request a conversation →

Yes, they are complementary: the index establishes your standing, and the subject newsletter features put your research in front of the academics who form the view, field by field. See subject features →

A subject-specific placement in the GRP newsletter that reaches only the academics who work in your discipline, not a general list, told through your own research. See your field →

The active researchers in that single field on the 170,000+ strong newsletter: the principal investigators, reviewers and group leaders who decide reputation, seek collaborators and shape funding. Find your audience →

From £490 for a single send. Three sends are £990, and all six monthly sends are £1,490, the best value. All +VAT. See the packages →

Content is due the first Monday of each month and goes live the second Wednesday. Six sends run 9 Sep, 14 Oct, 11 Nov, 9 Dec 2026, 13 Jan and 10 Feb 2027. See the timeline →

Highly, only three universities worldwide are included in each subject, by invitation, first in, first served. Your field is all but unshared. Secure one of the three →

A short headline, two or three lines of copy and one image, plus the link you want academics to follow. We design and proof it; you approve before it goes live. How it works →

The audience is highly engaged, a 63.8% open rate, about 2.5x the academic-sector benchmark. When Glasgow featured, a single send reached 147,650 academics across 138 countries and drove 15,000+ research clicks. See the proof →

It varies by discipline; each subject page shows the exact active audience for that field. Academics subscribe to up to three subject areas, so field audiences can overlap. See your field's audience →

No. The newsletter and the index are separate; featuring never changes your position on the index. Why we keep them separate →

Confirm your invitation by 4 September 2026 for the 9 September launch; later confirmations join from the next send. Confirm your place →

Yes, and many do: the partnership establishes your standing, the features carry your research to the field. Together they compound. See partnership →

Find your field, see its audience, and download the tailored proposal. It opens immediately. Find your field →

170,000+ verified, opted-in active academics, reaching 138 countries. It is one of the largest genuinely-engaged academic newsletters of its kind. See field audiences →

Global, with strong representation across the United Kingdom, United States, China, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong and continental Europe, and a long tail across 138 countries. Every subject send can be seen worldwide. Explore by region →

All 55 research fields, from the life and physical sciences to engineering, medicine, the social sciences and the humanities, each with its own active audience. Browse the fields →

The world's leading research universities and institutes, the same institutions mapped in the collaboration index, alongside funders, research offices and industry researchers. See the institutions ranked →

The list skews to active, publishing academics: principal investigators, group leaders, reviewers and panellists, the senior researchers whose judgement shapes where research is done best, alongside early-career researchers building their networks. Reach them →

By design, yes. The audience is precisely the community of senior, active researchers whose collective regard underpins how institutions are perceived, which is why a well-timed feature does disproportionate work. Why this audience matters →

A stable, engaged core with steady, organic growth and a low, healthy churn, the profile you want: consistency you can rely on, plus a constant flow of new active contacts. Plan a campaign →

Both are kept low through continuous list hygiene and permission-based sign-up. The clearest proof is engagement: a 63.8% open rate, roughly 2.5x the academic-sector benchmark, is only possible on a clean, wanted list. See the engagement →

Subscribers opt in with verified academic addresses; we run regular hygiene, re-permission and bounce management, and cross-check against the live research record, so the list reflects academics who are active now. Our data discipline →

Organically: researchers join through the funding search, the research-news feed, deadline alerts and referrals, and by featuring in the fields they work in. We never buy lists. How academics join →

In our experience the strongest pull is genuine discovery: first-of-kind results, breakthroughs and clearly-explained findings, especially work in high-impact journals (Nature, Science, Cell, The Lancet) and research with a funding or collaboration angle. Clarity beats jargon every time. Feature your best research →

Yes, we are glad to share the latest reach, engagement and field-level figures for internal use, and to tailor a view to your institution. Just ask. Request the figures →
