Proposals across federal agencies, state & local government, foundations, and corporate funders
How It Works
From Funding Discovery to Award Closeout
Nine steps covering the full grant lifecycle — finding opportunities, clearing any pre-proposal gate, drafting, review, submission, and managing what you win.
Complete Your Profile
Set up your organization once — PI credentials, team, facilities, past performance, and capabilities. Then use the grant taxonomy wizard to select your beneficiary type, funder class, agency, and program. Everything downstream is personalized from this.
Find Funding Opportunities
The Funding Intelligence Pipeline syncs live opportunities from Grants.gov and SAM.gov, and lets you add state/local, foundation, and international opportunities Sync can't reach — tracking a watchlist and bid/no-go decision for each one, so you start from a real pipeline, not a blank search.
Clear the Pre-Proposal Gate (If Required)
Some funders require or accept a preliminary submission first — a Letter of Intent, Concept Paper, or similar — before a full proposal. Draft and track it in the Pre-Proposal workspace; an approved one converts directly into your full proposal, or skip straight to step 4 if none is required.
Upload, Paste, or Select
Upload a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), paste the text, enter a URL, or choose from multiple grant types — SBIR, NIH R01, NSF, USDA, NASA, DOD, EDA, DOE, foundation, and more.
AI Generates Your Proposal
Our engine produces a full, section-by-section proposal tailored to the agency, your organization profile, and FOA requirements — all sections in parallel, in under 30 seconds. Need supporting documents too? AI drafts cover letters, MOUs, planning documents, and capability statements from the same project data.
Score & Optimize
Built-in scoring engine and reviewer simulator evaluate your draft against real reviewer criteria and flag compliance gaps before you spend time editing.
Edit, Review & Approve
Refine any section with AI-powered field suggestions, accept or override generated content, then formally approve the proposal for export — with role-based team collaboration and a versioned document library along the way.
Export & Submit
Download submission-ready DOCX, PDF, or Excel documents formatted to federal standards — with optional AI-generated flow diagrams, Gantt charts, and user-selectable formatting (font size, alignment, page numbers, section numbering).
Manage Your Award
Won the funding? A dedicated award workspace tracks budget, compliance items, amendments, and performance reporting through closeout — with a Portfolio Register tracking every pursuit from opportunity through post-award in one place, an Attention feed for what's due next, a probability-weighted pipeline value, and a Knowledge Center that feeds your own win/loss lessons into the next proposal.

Success Looks Like Everyone

Beyond the Proposal
A Grant Operating System, Not Just a Writer
Clariva organizes the whole funding lifecycle into three synchronized operational environments — Pre-Award, Award Received, and Post-Award — so nothing gets re-keyed or re-learned as a proposal turns into a funded, executing project.
Pre-Award
Discover, draft, and collaborate
Award Received
Activate, baseline, and negotiate
Post-Award
Execute, report, and close out
Discover
Funding Intelligence Pipeline syncs Grants.gov & SAM.gov, plus manually-added state/local, foundation & international opportunities — tracks watchlists and bid/no-go decisions.
Pre-Proposal
Clear a funder's required or optional preliminary submission — LOI, Concept Paper, or similar — with AI drafting, decision tracking, and a direct path into full proposal development once approved.
Draft
AI generates full proposals plus supporting documents — cover letters, MOUs, planning docs, capability statements.
Collaborate
Role-based team workspaces, audit logging, MFA, and a shared Document Library with AI semantic search.
Win & Execute
Award workspace tracks budgets, compliance items, amendments, performance reporting, and closeout — rolled up in a Portfolio Register that follows every pursuit from opportunity through post-award, with a weighted pipeline and an Attention feed for what's due next.
