Pure Award Management
Amsterdam, Netherlands
What it is
Pure Award Management supports research institutions through the funding lifecycle, from identifying opportunities to administering awards and reporting outcomes. Research offices can create, submit and track applications, with real-time status and progress updates. The system helps identify relevant opportunities and provides previously approved applications as reference materials. Successful applications can be turned into awards, with post-award requirements such as contracts and ethics reviews configured alongside delivery milestones, renewals and additional funding. Teams can track timelines and compliance requirements, link research outputs to projects, report outcomes and showcase impact on a Pure portal. Reporting tools cover funding trends, performance metrics and grant outcomes. Elsevier lists integrations with Funding Institutional, Infonetica and Agresso, along with institutional HR, finance and grant systems and sources such as Scopus, Web of Science and ORCID. Pure provides a REST API and standards-based data exchange. Elsevier describes it as cloud-hosted SaaS and says it is used by over 130 institutions worldwide. Pricing is available on request.
