FAQ

Common questions.

Which grant sources do you cover?

Open opportunities from Grants.gov, which lists federal grants across agencies, plus NIH RePORTER and NSF Awards for past awards. Coverage of private foundations is limited to what those sources include.

Is SBIR/STTR included?

Yes. SBIR and STTR solicitations posted to Grants.gov are searchable, and you can filter to them.

Where do researcher emails come from?

From public institutional pages and profiles the researcher published. Each email shows its source. OpenAlex and ORCID provide names, affiliations and works, not emails.

Can I use OmniLead for academic surveys?

Yes. The recruitment templates include the details ethics boards usually expect: who you are, time required, compensation and how data is used. Check your institution's requirements.
