Manual grant tracking doesn't scale with solicitation volume

A single grant match means a grants officer reading a new solicitation, checking eligibility requirements against the organization's profile, and confirming cost-share and deadline details — for every new opportunity that gets posted. At low volume that's manageable. Across dozens of active solicitations from multiple agencies, it's the reason a good-fit grant gets missed because nobody read the posting in time.

Solicitation in, cited match out

Four steps, every one logged and citable back to the solicitation.

01
Ingest

Reads the solicitation directly from your systems

Grant solicitation, NOFO, or RFP — read from grants.gov feeds, agency websites, or a document repository. No separate upload step.

GR-61208 — DOE resilience grant
02
Match against your profile

Every requirement checked against your organization's profile

Applicant type, prior funding history, and program focus — each checked against the specific solicitation's eligibility requirements, not a generic keyword match.

Example query
"Does our organization meet the cost-share requirement for this grant?"
03
Cite every flag

No eligibility flag without a citation

Each flag links back to the exact solicitation section it came from — the citation travels with the finding, not as a separate lookup.

Cited finding
Solicitation requires a 20% cost-share match — confirm available match funding before applying.

Classify & route

One disposition, one consolidated requirement list

The agent returns Eligible, Eligible-with-conditions, or Not Eligible, with a consolidated requirement list routed to the grants officer before the application effort begins.

Typical inputs

What the agent reads, and what it connects to.

Documents

  • Grant solicitation, NOFO, or RFP
  • Organization profile and prior funding history
  • Program focus and strategic priorities documentation

Systems

  • Grants management system
  • Grants.gov or agency portal feeds
  • Document repository

Is this the right fit?

Built for volume — not a one-off solicitation.

✓ Works best for

  • Agencies and grant offices tracking 20+ active solicitations
  • Organizations standardizing eligibility checks against a documented profile
  • Leadership wanting every match traceable to the solicitation

Too small for

  • A single solicitation a grants officer can review faster than configuring the match
  • Replacing grants officer judgment on whether to pursue a marginal-fit opportunity
  • Solicitations with no clear eligibility criteria to check against

Grounded in the solicitation, not a black box

Compliance-first, the same standard every Sphere agent is held to.

The agent requires the solicitation text and the organization's current profile before it will return a disposition, and every match sits between a new posting and the decision to pursue it — never past it. A grants officer confirms every Eligible-with-conditions or Not Eligible before effort is committed.

Eligibility flags reference the specific solicitation section directly — the same audit-trail standard every Sphere agent on the Foundry is held to.

Prerequisites solicitation + profile

The solicitation text and the organization's current profile are required before a disposition is returned.

Human review required

A grants officer confirms every Eligible-with-conditions or Not Eligible before effort is committed — never fully autonomous.

Source grounding solicitation-cited

Eligibility flags reference the specific solicitation section directly in every match.

Frequently asked

Does the Grant Matching & Analysis Agent decide which grants to pursue?

No. It flags eligibility and cites the specific requirements — a grants officer still decides which opportunities are worth pursuing.

What grant types does it support?

Federal NOFOs out of the box. State and foundation grants can be added during onboarding.

How does it integrate with grants.gov or agency feeds?

It reads directly from grants.gov feeds, agency websites, or a document repository — no separate upload step required. Integration scope is confirmed during deployment planning.

Is every eligibility flag traceable to the solicitation?

Yes. Every flag cites the specific solicitation section it came from — there is no flag without a citation back to the source.

How is this different from a generic grant database?

It matches against your own organization's profile and prior funding history and cites the specific requirement, not a generic keyword search. It runs on Sphere AI Foundry, so the access controls and audit trail configured here carry forward to other agents you deploy.
