Can I afford to keep my team together?
Understand your full portfolio picture — balances, runway, and team coverage — without learning institutional systems or waiting on anyone.
Challenges you know too well
No clear picture of where your money stands
You often don't know your real balance until the end of the quarter — by which point it's too late to adjust.
Uncertainty about your team's funding
Will you be able to keep your postdoc through the next cycle? The answer usually requires chasing down your admin.
Dependent on admin availability
Basic financial questions require emails, meetings, or waiting for someone to update a spreadsheet you can't access.
How Modern Research helps
Real-time fund balances and burn rates
See where each of your grants stands — current balance, spend rate, and projected runway — updated automatically as transactions post.
Projections and what-if scenarios
Explore how personnel changes, new hires, or shifting effort affect your budget — across individual awards or your entire portfolio.
Answers without asking
The questions you'd normally email your admin about — remaining balance, team coverage, upcoming deadlines — are already answered in your dashboard.
