What could your admins do if they weren't taping your systems together?
Your admins spend their days navigating maze-like systems that don't talk to each other — burning mental energy on low-value work instead of strategy. Modern Research connects your ERP, HR, and eRA data so they don't have to.
See it. Plan it. Close it.
Three things your research office does every month. One system that makes each one faster.
Know where every project stands
Research financials the way your sponsor sees them and the way your ledger sees them - kept in sync without pasting a single number.
Forecast beyond the ledger
Flexible planning that goes beyond your ERP's constraints - labor plans for years out, commitments weeks before they hit the ledger, and collaborative what-if scenarios.
Close the month in hours, not weeks
Effort certifications, budget modifications, and FFRs — all driven by the same reconciled data. Built-in audit trails and digital sign-offs replace the spreadsheets you used to chase PIs to sign.
Built for your entire research office
Whether you’re running a lab, managing post-award, or overseeing the portfolio — we meet you where you are.
For PIs & Lab Managers
Get answers about your grants — balances, runway, team coverage — without chasing anyone down.
For Research Admins
Reclaim your time for high-value work — not stitching together data across six disconnected systems.
For Research Leadership
Fewer ERP licenses, less turnover risk, and portfolio clarity — without waiting for month-end.
This is a game changer for me. If you're spread across projects, it's really difficult to think about your labor. This is a game changer.
