Checking the ingredients

Make sure you covered all the bases

Did you address all of the things needed for a good Impacter chapter? Impacter checks your document against a list of ingredients, compiled out of 600 existing proposals.

Uniqueness

How does your research compare to other proposals?

Impacter runs a document similarity algorithm that compares your proposal to a combined database. The databases include CORDIS, NARCIS, RVO, FRIS, SweCRIS the UKRI and NSF. We make copies of these databases, so your document does not leave our server.

For an increasing number of funding bodies, these analyses are also provided to reviewers to ensure that funded projects are sufficiently distinctive.

Word comments

Directly continue writing

Comments based on the semantics of your writing are given back to you, in your original proposal! This means you can pick up where you left off, and address the comments while you write.

Impacter for support staff

We help you to focus on the support that matters

Spend more time on content

We address the common pitfalls, giving you time for content.
Grant matching

We match funding opportunities with publication profiles.
Insights and Analytics

Gather insights out of the meta-data of proposals.

Spend more time on content

Because regular feedback is taken care of.

In the busy time towards a deadline, you want to spend your scarce time where it matters. Impacter tackles the common issues and style elements, making sure that when you get the text, frequent pitfalls have been addressed.

Grant matching

Who should write for which opportunity?

Impacter uses Document Similarity technologies to identify the best links between a researchers publication history (from the public repository) and funding opportunities. We help you to:

Find the publication profiles matching a EU topic

Find the publication profiles matching a custom topic text

Find the topics best for a specific researcher

Insight and Analytics beta

Quantify insights in proposals

At an aggregate level, a lot of insights can be gathered from proposals and the linked databases. Think of the following:

Specific research organisations that your institutions' proposals align with

Organisations mentioned in proposals of your researchers.

The routes towards creating Impact that your researchers prefer.

Aggregate scores to find latent training needs.

"I was pleasantly surprised at the usefulness of the feedback and the practical points that could be implemented to improve my proposal."

Kevin van Eeten Postdoc, Chemical Reactor Engineering, TU Eindhoven

I was pleasantly surprised with how specific and accurate the feedback was. Also, it was very useful to me that explanations were provided along with it. This way, even when feedback was not applicable to my text given the context, the comments still helped me understand how I could improve my text elsewhere."

Sanne Moorman Postdoctoral Fellow and Veni Laureate, Tufts University, MA, USA.

"I really like the very specific feedback you get. Plus it is superfast!"

Ruben van Boxtel Principal Investigator, Princess Máxima Center, Utrecht

“Impacter has improved the impact section of my Marie Curie Individual Fellowship proposal. It identified unspecific phrases and gave great suggestions on how to make them more concrete. It makes you think thoroughly about what impact your can have outside academia and how. My fellowship has been awarded, and the impact section was evaluated as 'very good', 'clear', and 'promising'. Thanks Impacter!”

Suzanne Lommen Marie Curie IF laureate, Guest Researcher at Leiden University

"I am amazed at how precise it is. It actually pointed out some worries I had myself and convinced me to keep working on them."

Marrigje Paijmans Teaching fellow in Comparative Literature, Utrecht University

"Impacter provides a quick overview of the important components of a knowledge utilisation paragraph. It reinforces many of the things that grant advisors also look for. A lot of standard advice can be given by Impacter, giving grant supporters more time to focus on the actual contents of this paragraph."

Margo Strijbosch Director Research Services, Erasmus University

"Impacter is a useful tool for both scientists and grant officers to improve research proposals."

Reinout Raijmakers Teamleader Research Support Office, Faculty of Science, UU

"The researchers can use Impacter to improve their proposals by textual advice. This is helpful for the researchers and for us as advisors since it saves us a lot of time and we can focus on the deeper content for our advice. In addition, we as advisors use Impacter to find the right calls for the researchers to apply for. This is a very helpful tool in our advice process."

Anne van de Poel Head NL Research Funding, TU Delft
