Digital Science, a technology company serving stakeholders across the research ecosystem, is pleased to announce that the Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA) has chosen Symplectic Grant Tracker from Digital Science’s suite of flagship products to advance its aims of providing catalytic funding for innovative scientific research and the development of academic scientists.
RCSA joins the 50+ foundations, charities and funders worldwide who manage their end-to-end grant lifecycle using Symplectic Grant Tracker.

With a 111-year legacy of supporting innovative research in the physical sciences, RCSA provides funding via various awards and initiatives, including its two core programs: the Cottrell Scholar program and Scialog. The Cottrell Scholar program honors and helps to develop outstanding teacher-scholars, while Scialog seeks to accelerate the work of 21st-century transformational science through research, dialogue, and community.
“Grant Tracker’s flexible automations have improved the efficiency of our internal workflows and grantmaking processes,” said Meg Zimlich Martin, RCSA’s Director of Program & Award Administration. “Its search capabilities allow us to use our data effectively by quickly creating custom lists and reports, and its streamlined user experience helps our grantees and reviewers easily prepare proposals, submit reviews and provide progress reports on their work.”
