Hub Partner Program
Labs, experiment stations, extension networks, and state funding bodies run the trials behind the map — but the smaller ones especially have no way to show what their money produced. Claim your hub free. Add impact reporting when you're ready to prove it to funders and boards.
A hub can be a lab → institute → network → funding agency. Claiming is always free.

Your description here. Funders read this. Researchers find you here. The platform routes the right people your way.
What you actually get
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.
A public profile with a mission-specific evidence score, confidence label, momentum sparkline, citation context, geographic reach, and topic mix — plus briefs built for funder and board conversations.
Partner hubs get weekly funding-match alerts and priority placement on funder profile pages. The matchmaker side of the platform points at you.
Tiers & pricing
Claiming or updating a hub is always free. Paid tiers add hands-on curation, Local Fit, and funder-ready impact reporting.
Local Fit = we separate the studies that match your geography, soils & production system from broad background research — so your hub leads with evidence that actually applies.
Founding pricing is meant for early partners while the platform is still growing. Nonprofit, conservation district, and early-career lab discounts are available.

This replaces email back-and-forth with the few details needed to route your hub to a free claim, a founding regional package, or a larger reporting conversation.
No payment or contract from this form.
Free claimed hubs stay free.
Proof artifact
The paid tiers are not just a prettier directory listing. They turn the public research graph into a reusable impact brief: where your work appears, who is looking for it, what funders connect to it, and where the evidence gaps are still visible.

Local Fit
Shows which studies match the partner geography, production system, and outcomes, then separates high-fit evidence from broad background research.
Reach by geography
Summarizes hub page views, searches, and topic interest by state or region so partners can explain visible demand to funders.
How it works
Start with the free public profile, or use a quick intro call to map your geography, audience, and reporting needs to the right paid tier.
Start the conversationFor paid tiers, we stand up your branded hub, load and verify papers, and calibrate Local Fit for your geography. Most hubs go live within two weeks.
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
Claimed Hub is the free public profile. Founding Regional adds partner branding, curated indexing, Local Fit for one geography, and an annual impact brief. Institutional adds unlimited papers, the full dashboard, and quarterly board-ready reporting. Enterprise is for funders, networks, and multi-hub programs that need custom reporting, API/data access, or a dedicated contact.
Not for the current founding packages. Setup is included for Founding Regional and Institutional partners so smaller organizations can start without a second procurement hurdle. Enterprise onboarding is scoped case by case.
Yes. Many small nonprofits, conservation districts, and university labs should start with a free claimed hub. If the paid tier is useful but still high, we can flex the Founding Regional rate.
Claimed hubs are free. Paid tiers are billed annually; if you cancel mid-term we refund the unused months. Your indexed papers stay in the public directory regardless.
Yes — many of our hubs are. Foundations and corn boards in particular often show up both as hubs and on the Funder profile pages.
Each hub uses a mission-specific profile: funders, labs, networks, extension programs, universities, nonprofits, and industry partners are measured against responsibilities that fit their work. Every score carries a provisional or established confidence label, and scores are compared only with the same mission profile.
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.
Founding Regional and Institutional hubs get 48-hour new-paper processing and email support. Enterprise adds a dedicated contact, priority processing, and a written SLA when the scope calls for it.
Add or claim your hub today — it's free. We'll walk you through the partner program if you want to talk about it after.
