Your description here. Funders read this. Researchers find you here. The platform routes the right people your way.
What you actually get
Three rewards, one platform.
Get discovered
Every paper in the index becomes a doorway to your hub. Searchable by topic, region, funder, and impact — the people building ag research find you.
Show your impact
A public profile with momentum sparkline, impact score, citation deltas, geographic reach, and topic mix. Funders read this; so do your peers.
Connect with funders
Partner hubs get weekly funding-match alerts and priority placement on funder profile pages. The matchmaker side of the platform points at you.

How it works
Three steps to a live hub.
Tell us about your hub
A quick intro call: who you are, the geography you cover, and the research you want behind your hub. We map it to the right tier.
Start the conversationWe build & calibrate
The one-time setup: we stand up your branded hub, load your papers, and calibrate Local Fit for your geography. Most hubs go live within two weeks.
Go live & measure
Your hub is public and searchable. New papers process in 48 hours, and you get impact reporting on views, searches, and practitioner reach by geography.
Talk to usFrequently asked
Questions worth answering.
What's the difference between the tiers?+
Regional Hub is one branded hub, ~50 papers, one geography. Institutional adds unlimited papers, the full impact dashboard, and quarterly reporting. Enterprise covers multiple hubs, priority processing, and co-branded reporting across a network. API access is a separate track for commercial integrations.
What's the setup fee for?+
A one-time onboarding: we stand up your branded hub, load and verify your papers, and calibrate Local Fit for your geography. It's $2,500 for Regional and Institutional; custom for Enterprise. Most hubs go live within two weeks.
Do you offer nonprofit or early-career pricing?+
Yes. We flex within (and below) the Regional band for small nonprofits, conservation districts, and university labs run by early-career researchers. Just mention it when you reach out.
How does billing work — and can I cancel?+
The license is billed annually after the one-time setup. If you cancel mid-term we refund the unused months. Your indexed papers stay in the public directory regardless.
Can my institution be a research hub AND appear as a funder?+
Yes — many of our hubs are. Foundations and corn boards in particular often show up both as hubs and on the Funder profile pages.
How is impact score calculated?+
Six components — research output, scholarly impact, geographic reach, momentum, practical value, and community trust — normalized across the cohort. Same formula on the directory cards and your hub profile.
What about data ownership?+
You own your data. Our indexed metadata stays public (it's already public via CrossRef). Editable hub content (description, logo, etc.) is yours to remove anytime.
Is there an SLA?+
Regional and Institutional hubs get 48-hour new-paper processing and priority email support. Enterprise adds a dedicated contact, priority processing, and a written SLA.
