The link between research grant data and commercial opportunity
As new research continually evolves, those selling into the life science industry are placed in a challenging position. To improve chances of commercial success, they have to correctly predict which areas of interest to focus on, approach relevant researchers and decide on the pharmaceuticals, research tools and reagents that might be required. Using traditional search methods alone, this becomes a difficult and time-consuming practice.
Dimensions technology has revolutionized the search process. Now, opportunities can be pinpointed by quickly identifying:
Which grants worldwide have recently been awarded and to whom
How these were funded
Developments occurring in both emerging and established areas of interest.
The platform offers essential insights that save time and improve results. Users are not only kept informed of the changing landscape; with Dimensions, they stay one step ahead…

Dimensions is a powerful research discovery tool which leverages the world’s largest linked research information dataset. It covers more than 120 million scientific publications, as well as patents and clinical trial documents, and includes access to information on six million grants worth more than $2.3 trillion USD, from 637 funders worldwide.
The platform is simple to use, you can quickly return accurate results about grants and researchers from different sources across the research ecosystem. New sources are added on a regular basis and the dataset is constantly being updated, so results are always current.
What’s more, with the ability to filter returned information and follow new potential paths of discovery, users can enjoy an inclusive approach to research whilst remaining confident that nothing critical gets missed.
Instead of relying on manual curation and traditional searches to index documents and extract key information, Dimensions can search by full text indexed publications to discover equipment, consumables and reagents that are typically not mentioned in titles or abstracts giving you greater accuracy in your searches to deliver a more precise picture of market opportunity and targets.
Within the database there are 7.5 million links to organizations, 9 million researchers and 6 million links to grants.
By building a complete picture of a researcher, identifying their expertise and focus of research, you can make evidence-based decisions on how to move forward, targeting researchers with the support they need, approaching institutions that have the funds to spend on awarding grants and spotting gaps in the market that could become potential opportunities.
Dimensions can also offer tailored dashboards that remove the need to re-enter search information, directing users to relevant insights specific to their area of interest as soon as that data becomes available.
It is the fastest, most efficient way to uncover rich, contextual information, offering an automated and integrated approach to data that gives you the edge in today’s competitive market.
The Dimensions grants search functionality offers a distinct competitive advantage, providing critical insights into the discovery phase.
Users can filter results based on when grants were awarded, where in the world funds were and are currently being spent, which universities, individuals or bodies have been successful in grant applications and if there is a correlation between any of these factors. They can then follow the links to find out more detail.
