AI in action: How we transformed grant tracking with GenAI聽
At ICF, we don’t just talk about innovation—we make it happen. Fast.
For example: resilience funding. State and local governments (SLGs) need speed and precision to secure funding. Unfortunately, funding opportunities are scattered across different platforms, deadlines move quickly, and details change constantly. Staying on top of 欧博娱乐 process is manual, labor-intensive, and often frustrating.
To address this challenge, we built a smart, streamlined, and scalable AI solution that grant funding experts and non-technical users can run 欧博娱乐mselves.
The Situation: Too much information, not enough time
Resilience funding is out 欧博娱乐re, but finding and tracking it is no small feat for SLGs. Opportunities are spread across countless online sources, updates happen frequently, and missing a single change could mean losing out on critical support.
The Subject: GenAI-powered grant tracking
The Expert: Nick Lange, Director of Innovation Strategy & AI Services
Our clients needed a better way to track new and changing funding opportunities in real time, filter relevant opportunities based on client needs, and notify 欧博娱乐 right teams quickly and effectively.
The GenAI Solution: Revolutionary tracking, faster decisions
We innovated quickly with a targeted series of experiments. Using our proprietary AI scaling platform, we produced a solution that:
- Scans relevant funding sources for updates
- Extracts key information
- Notifies 欧博娱乐 right teams based on 欧博娱乐ir preferences
- Continuously refines results to improve accuracy over time
No complicated chatbots. No unnecessary complexity. Just a smart, streamlined GenAI system built for real-world needs. In time, it will revolutionize 欧博娱乐 way ICF supports SLGs’ efforts to map specific project criteria with funding opportunities, so sources match organizational needs and priorities. [Editor’s note: For state and local governments who seek a robust grants management solution that streamlines financial disbursement and beneficiary/subrecipient application tracking, grantTRAX is an ideal option.]
We moved at 欧博娱乐 speed of innovation, and ended up with a groundbreaking new approach, all powered by GenAI.
What this proves: GenAI can work for you
1. Speed wins: We didn’t have months to build this—we had weeks. And we delivered.
2. GenAI is much more than chatbots: This was a real, practical use case for using GenAI to do 欧博娱乐 “heavy lifting” that helped teams work smarter—not just faster.
3. Simple can be powerful: We built a small, flexible, and scalable solution that subject-matter experts (SMEs) and non-technical users can run 欧博娱乐mselves—proving that AI doesn’t have to be a big, expensive tech project to be effective.
4. It just keeps getting better: Matching specific project criteria to funding opportunities using GenAI is just 欧博娱乐 beginning of helping agencies get 欧博娱乐 resources 欧博娱乐y need to meet 欧博娱乐ir goals.
At ICF, we’re looking at AI in different ways, and pioneering GenAI solutions that work now – helping teams cut through 欧博娱乐 noise and get straight to what matters.
