For grants managers
Take the document grind off your team. Keep the oversight.
Grants managers own pipeline, compliance, costings and sign-off. The drafting load that drowns the office is the bit that scales least well. Bidwell takes it off you without taking the controls off you.

Sound familiar
The bits of the job that should not be this hard
Five applications, three funder deadlines, two ethics submissions, and a PI emailing for a costings query at 6pm.
Each PI thinks their application is the urgent one. They are all right.
Compliance with funder T&Cs is hand-checked, application by application, because that is the only way to be sure.
Reporting on pipeline to the executive is a manual exercise in copy-paste from five different funder portals.
How Bidwell helps
The shape of the day, after Bidwell
Drafting capacity that scales without headcount
Bidwell drafts every PI's case for support against the funder call. Your office reviews, costs and approves rather than authors, so the same team handles more applications per cycle.
Costings narrative aligned to the numbers
Bidwell drafts the budget justification, justification of resources and value-for-money narrative against the costings your team produces. The prose always matches the numbers because both come out of the same source.
Compliance flagged before submission
Bidwell checks the application against the funder's published rules: page limits, word counts, mandatory annexes, eligible cost categories, ECR criteria. Issues surface before you submit, not after.
Pipeline you can report on without copy-paste
Every application Bidwell drafts is tracked. You see what is in flight, with which funder, against which deadline, in one view rather than five portals.
Frequently asked
Bidwell for grants managers, in short
