Why did we switch to GrantForward?

GrantForward offers more funding opportunities and searches than Pivot. The search feature functionality allows for more tailored and relevant searches. GrantForward was developed by faculty researchers to fill the needs that system like Pivot do not offer. GrantForward is also a significant cost saving for the institution.
