Funder and portfolio context

Add external science-attention context to portfolio review

Use Radar as one public input when a funder, nonprofit, or research program is considering the broader conversation around a science topic.

Designed for: Funders, foundation teams, portfolio managers, nonprofit research programs, and advisory groups.

Browse the public Radar

Review the public Radar as a contextual signal, then trace retained source links and compare them with the organization’s own strategy, due diligence, and domain expertise.

Open Latest Science Radar

Use Impact MCP when configured

A configured agent can retrieve a reproducible set of source-linked public signals for a named topic, without accessing account data or private portfolio information.

Questions this workflow can help frame

  • What public science conversations provide context for a topic in our portfolio review?
  • Which emerging areas should our team investigate further before a planning discussion?
  • What coverage should we read before characterizing the external attention around a research area?

A responsible workflow

  1. 1

    Define the decision context

    Identify the research area and the specific planning question; Radar is context, not a recommendation engine.

  2. 2

    Collect public signals

    Use the Radar or authenticated MCP search to form a source-linked reading list.

  3. 3

    Compare with internal evidence

    Evaluate public coverage alongside approved portfolio data, expert input, and the organization’s own criteria.

  4. 4

    Record uncertainty

    State what the public sources indicate and what still requires due diligence, especially for time-sensitive or high-stakes decisions.

What this does not establish

Radar does not identify funding opportunities, rank grants, recommend investments, or assess strategic fit. It exposes only the published public projection.
