About ResearchGrants AI

The first end-to-end R01 development platform — built by researchers, for researchers.

ResearchGrants.ai started as a simple AI tool to save time and improve application scores. Researchers loved it — and their feedback helped us see what was truly possible. We kept building, and it became the application we always wanted: one that removes the obstacles to applying for and obtaining grant funding and lets scientists focus on what matters most.

Our team brings together expertise in life sciences research, artificial intelligence, machine learning, user-centered software design, and research compliance software. Our work is informed by experience at leading institutions such as the University of Minnesota, Medical University of South Carolina, Brigham Young University, Stanford University, Harvard University, University of California, Columbia University, and MIT.

At Diodorus, we believe scientific progress depends not just on new discoveries, but on the ability to organize, share, and build upon what has come before. By creating solutions that respect the intellectual depth of research while improving its efficiency, we help researchers stay focused on discovery — and on expanding the boundaries of human knowledge.
