Vidatum Projects – Post-Award

Keep every project on track.

Track budgets, expenditure, and compliance with confidence — from award to final claim.

The Challenge

Institutions struggle with scattered researcher profiles, duplicated publication records, and increasing pressure to demonstrate impact and meet national reporting requirements. Manual processes consume time, increase errors, and create stress during reporting cycles.

The Solution

Vidatum Research brings researcher profiles, outputs, projects, and impact data into one connected system. Automated data enrichment and integrations reduce duplication, improve accuracy, and provide a reliable foundation for reporting, benchmarking, and strategic planning.

The Challenge

After an award is secured, the real administrative burden begins. Disconnected spreadsheets, email trails, and manual processes make it difficult to track budgets against actual expenditure in real time.
This lack of visibility leads directly to budget overruns, missed financial reporting deadlines, and compliance errors that can result in delayed payments or rejected final claims. The stress of audit preparation becomes a recurring, manual effort.

The Solution

Vidatum Post-Award centralises financial and compliance oversight across funded projects. It brings budgets, expenditure, claims activity, and reporting obligations into one connected view, so teams can manage awards confidently from day one.

Automated workflows and real-time visibility reduce manual tracking and help institutions identify risks earlier—supporting accurate claims, stronger compliance, and smoother audits through to project close-out.
