Pure Award Management helps research institutions coordinate funding from opportunity discovery through applications, awards, contracts, outputs and outcomes. Research offices can create, submit and track applications with real-time status and progress updates, and use previously approved applications as references when identifying funding opportunities. Successful applications can become awards, with post-award requirements such as contract management and ethics reviews configured alongside delivery milestones, renewals and additional funding. The product supports compliance tracking and reporting on funding trends, performance measures and grant outcomes. Teams can link research outputs to projects, report outcomes and showcase impact on a Pure portal. Elsevier names Funding Institutional, Infonetica and Agresso among its integrations; Pure also connects with institutional HR, finance and grant platforms, and sources including Scopus, Web of Science and ORCID. It offers a REST API and standards-based data exchange. Elsevier describes Pure as cloud-hosted SaaS, with customer data kept in an agreed location and under customer ownership and control. Pricing is available on request.
