The Grant Space Workbench
Turn grant research into your next paper.
One shared lab notebook for your grant. Bring your data, code and ideas together, work through analyses with AI, and build paper drafts from the methods and findings your team records along the way.
No grant number needed. Start from files or an award; nothing goes public without your approval.

From field observations to a working manuscript
A workspace for the research itself
Bring it together. Investigate. Write.
- 01Bring the work together
Enter a grant code and add your working files. Keep datasets, protocols, code and notes in a shared workspace for the team.
- 02Investigate and record
Record questions and methods, run dataset analyses, and save results to the notebook. Use hosted AI or a local model to plan and draft from selected evidence.
- 03Write and share
Select your methods and findings to build a paper draft. Review it with coauthors, export it, and prepare supporting outputs for publication.
One file is enough to begin. Open a Workbench
Your shared research notebook
Keep the thread of your research.
Move from the question to its files, methods, findings and paper draft. Your shared notebook preserves the context between each step.
- 01Notebook
Questions, protocols, findings and decisions.
- 02Research files
The datasets, code and figures behind the work.
- 03Analyses
Methods and saved results, linked to inputs.
- 04Papers
Working drafts built from selected evidence.
- 05Team
Collaborators contributing to one research record.
The materials behind a discovery
Bring the whole project.
Tabular, imaging, sensor. Checksums and schema captured on deposit.
Scripts and notebooks alongside the data and methods they use.
Model files, documentation and evaluation notes in the shared workspace.
Methods and observations linked to findings and paper drafts.
Why now
Research moves between lab drives, spreadsheets, analysis tools and manuscript drafts. The reasoning gets lost between them. A shared notebook keeps the question, method, result and decision connected, so the next analysis or paper starts with evidence your team already has.
For funders & institutions
See every output an award produced.
Grant spaces roll all outputs up to the award that funded them, with FAIR compliance visible at a glance.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a Grant Space?
- A Grant Space is a shared research notebook for a funded project. Your team adds files, records methods and findings, saves analyses, and develops paper drafts with AI assistance. Working notes stay private to grant members.
- Do I need a grant number to start?
- No. You can start uploading your working files straight away. If you do have a grant number, we also assemble what's already published under it — publications, datasets, and software from OpenAlex, DataCite, and Crossref (plus the full NIH RePORTER record for NIH awards).
- What can I do with my files once they're in?
- Preview and profile supported files, build charts, run SQL and save AI-guided analyses to the notebook. Uploaded files live in your shared cloud workspace. Hosted analysis sends example values and query results to the AI provider. The notebook assistant also supports a locally installed Ollama model with explicit source selection.
- Is the data open and machine-readable?
- Yes. Published Grant Spaces are public, carry schema.org JSON-LD and a citation in plain text and BibTeX, expose each output's metadata in DataCite, Dublin Core, CodeMeta, and Croissant, and are queryable by agents via a Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint.
- How is funder compliance determined?
- A funder-aware engine checks open access (and PubMed Central for NIH) and data sharing against the award's mandate, producing a score and a punch list — computed by the platform, not self-reported.
