Find grant reviewers without the enterprise friction
Prophy replaces cumbersome enterprise tools. Find high-quality grant reviewers matched to the proposal in front of you, rather than dug out of a database that fights you. Identification runs automatically over Prophy's research base for every call, so quality holds even under deadline pressure.
- Automatic expert matching. Qualified academic experts surfaced for each call, not assembled proposal by proposal.
- Reviewer pools that scale. Manage thousands of reviewers without the workflow getting in the way.
- Built for the people who run the call. Senior scientific and program officers get a fast, concrete answer to "is this reviewer right for this proposal."

Conflict-free panels, with diversity built into the search
This is the cluster a funder's board, presidium, and procurement team care most about: evaluations they can defend.
Co-authorship and co-affiliation conflicts surface before the invitation goes out, not after. Accurate conflict detection runs in-house, so you avoid the integrity and reputational risk of third-party outsourcing.
Search by gender, geography, seniority, and additional diversity metrics. You balance the panel from the search itself, and sustain that diversity call after call rather than tracking it on the side.
See Prophy on your own call.
We'll walk you through the whole process on a real proposal from your portfolio.
Why funding agencies choose Prophy over enterprise tools and spreadsheets
Most grant teams arrive from one of three current ways of working. Prophy replaces each of them.
Find high-quality grant reviewers quickly and easily — without the enterprise-tool friction.
Identify and engage emerging authors quickly, instead of tracking talent in spreadsheets that go stale.
Automate and enhance the evaluation of funding outcomes, so research funding reaches the best projects.
Confidentiality
We declined generative AI on confidentiality grounds
Some funders are building in-house reviewer tools on general-purpose generative AI, feeding confidential proposals into systems that may train on the input. We took a different decision.
- Prophy matches experts using unique non-human-readable digital fingerprints of texts. Proposals are processed as fingerprints for retrieval and matching, not read by a general-purpose model and not used to train one.
- The confidentiality of what funders evaluate is a design constraint, not a footer line. Deploy fully in-house for the strictest data-residency requirements.
- Transparency you can audit, not an opaque service: analysis of co-authorship and co-affiliation makes every reviewer choice defensible rather than a black box.

What our clients say
Dr. Veronika Schöpf
Head of department of natural sciences and technology, FWF
Prophy helps us and our board members to identify and select reviewers for research proposals. Especially for interdisciplinary research proposals Prophy has shown to be a great asset. The finding process is fast and convenient and comparison between suggested reviewers is a huge advantage.
Dr. Martine Vernooij
ETH Zurich, Office of Research
Prophy provides a very good basis to find appropriate peer reviewers for the evaluation of applications to our internal funding instruments and saves us a lot of time.
Questions funders ask
Does Prophy integrate with our grant management system?
Yes, through our API: a folder can be a grant panel, and a reviewer's access to a proposal can be limited to the duration of a call. We also support bulk import and export of your data in a flexible way.
How is our data handled — and do you train on it?
Your data belongs to you, and you can delete it at any time or set up lifecycle rules. We also don't train any models on your data.
Can it detect conflicts across a whole batch of applications?
Conflict checks run on co-authorship and co-affiliation at reviewer selection; for panel-level checks across every applicant at once, Panel Composer screens the full set together.
How defensible is the diversity and COI output to our board or auditors?
Every choice carries a recorded reason and an exportable coverage map — the audit trail stakeholders ask for.
How does buying work — and what does it cost?
Pricing maps to public-procurement thresholds, with multi-year fixed-price options — we'll walk you through what fits your call volume.
How is this different from doing it manually or with our current database?
Prophy replaces cumbersome enterprise tools and manual lookups with expert matching on 149M+ papers — quickly, without the enterprise-tool friction.
