FAIRWAY
by CONVERGE · Faculty Opportunity Guidance
Your Personal Research Intelligence Hub
Stop spending hours searching Grants.gov, NSF, and NIH. FAIRWAY brings personalized funding matches directly to you — with clear fit explanations, deadline tracking, and one-click help requests.
Built specifically for faculty and individual investigators. No other system gives researchers this level of transparency into why an opportunity matches their profile.
What Makes FAIRWAY Different
Unlike generic opportunity databases, FAIRWAY was built from the ground up for individual researchers — not administrators.
Fit Scores, Not Just Lists
Every match includes a confidence score and detailed breakdown showing which parts of your profile — publications, prior funding, research areas — align with the opportunity.
Researcher-First Design
Other systems show opportunities to administrators who then forward them. FAIRWAY puts researchers in the driver's seat with direct access to their personalized pipeline.
Built-In Support Channel
Need help with a proposal? One click sends a help request to your research development team with full match context — they can respond directly in your inbox.
Understand Every Match
Click into any opportunity and see exactly how your expertise maps to what's being funded. FAIRWAY breaks down alignment across your publications, prior awards, and stated research interests — so you can decide in seconds whether to pursue.
