AUSGRANT
An Official Swanson Reed Partnership | The World’s Most Extensive R&D Grants & Incentives Index
Navigating state, federal, and global research funding shouldn’t feel like searching in the dark. As a core intelligence pillar within the Swanson Reed ecosystem, AusGrant makes the research funding landscape legible, structured, and actionable.
By uniting AusGrant’s comprehensive, real-time index of non-dilutive grant opportunities with Swanson Reed’s global R&D tax credit and audit defense capabilities, we empower innovative companies to maximize funding across both sides of the ledger. From uncovering state and federal grants to managing application lifecycles and protecting your tax credits, we streamline your capital pathway so you can focus on building the future.
Empowering Innovators Through Four Core Pillars
Whether you are a high-growth tech firm, clean energy manufacturer, life sciences researcher, or scaling SME, AusGrant provides the visibility and strategic support needed to secure competitive non-dilutive capital:
1. Comprehensive R&D Grants Database
US and global R&D funding is scattered across dozens of disconnected agency portals and state hubs. AusGrant eliminates the noise. We maintain a continuously updated database indexing thousands of active grant programs across every US state, federal agencies (including SBIR/STTR, NSF, DOE, and DOD), and international jurisdictions.
- Weekly-Verified Intelligence: Every record—including dollar amounts, eligibility criteria, and application deadlines—is re-verified weekly by our dedicated research desk.
- 50-State & Federal Indexing: View federal programs side-by-side with localized state economic development grants to capture every available dollar in your region.
2. Targeted Opportunity Matching & Tracking
Don’t let government application deadlines slip by unnoticed. AusGrant structures complex government solicitations into concise, plain-English profiles so your team can evaluate eligibility and ROI in seconds.
- Sector-Specific Filtering: Filter opportunities by sector, jurisdiction, grant size, and funding body—from $25K regional innovation vouchers to multi-million-dollar technology demonstration grants.
- Direct Source Integrity: Every AusGrant record links straight back to the official government solicitation, ensuring total clarity and transparency.
- Early-Stage Solicitations: Receive alerts on upcoming program launches, federal Notices of Intent (NOI), and Broad Agency Announcements (BAA).
3. End-to-End Proposal Writing & Advisory
Transform opportunity into approved funding. AusGrant’s specialist advisors assist organizations in crafting clear, high-scoring proposals that meet strict agency scoring metrics and technical compliance guidelines.
- Proposal Development: Narrative design, technical writing, budget justification, and commercialization roadmap framing tailored to reviewer expectations.
- Draft Review & Feedback: Expert red-teaming of client-drafted applications to identify weaknesses and maximize approval probability before submission.
- Grant Administration: Support through submission portals, compliance tracking, and post-award milestone management.
4. Integrated Tax & Incentive Synergy
Grants and R&D tax incentives are two sides of the same coin. AusGrant works hand-in-hand with Swanson Reed’s tax technology suite (including TaxTrex and creditARMOR) to ensure your grant funding complements your tax credit strategy without triggering clawbacks or compliance issues.
- Dual-Track Funding Strategy: Align non-dilutive grant applications with eligible R&D expenditure claims for dual capital optimization.
- Audit-Proof Documentation: Maintain flawless records that satisfy both grant management bodies and tax regulatory authorities.
- Complete Capital Coverage: Bridge the timing gap between project spend, grant disbursements, and end-of-year tax returns.
