What it is
CATALYST is web software for collecting and managing applications to awards, grants, and scholarships.

CATALYST supports payment collection through a payment gateway, including nomination fees where applicable. Listed integrations include YourMembership, Abila/NetForum, iThenticate, Authorize.Net, and BluePay. The product describes GDPR-compliant functionality, payment fraud prevention, and secure system data backup. Omnipress says it configures workflows to fit each program’s structure.
