SIGNAL
by CONVERGE · Research Development Platform
The Command Center for Research Development
SIGNAL gives your research development team complete pipeline visibility — from opportunity ingestion to proposal submission. Proactively support faculty, manage matches at scale, and track conversions.
Unlike FAIRWAY (built for individual researchers), SIGNAL is purpose-built for research development staff who manage the full pipeline across all faculty.
What Makes SIGNAL Different
SIGNAL isn't a search tool or a notification system — it's a full pipeline management platform built for research development professionals.
Pipeline-Wide Visibility
See every opportunity, every match, every faculty response in one unified view. No other tool gives RD teams this level of cross-institutional oversight.
Two-Way Faculty Communication
When faculty request help, it arrives in your queue with full match context. Respond directly — your reply goes to their inbox in real-time.
Proactive, Not Reactive
Identify high-fit matches before faculty even know about them. Push opportunities to the right people at the right time.
Unified Help & Communication Queue
Every faculty help signal — form submissions, match responses, chat messages — funnels into one queue. See who needs support, what they're working on, and respond with full context.
