OpenWater Tool for Funding Opportunities

SRC is partnering with OpenWater, an industry leader in Abstract Management Software, to bring you modern software that will streamline the process for submissions and ratings. We're especially excited for some of the new collaboration tools that will be available to the review commitees.

Common questions

Why are you using OpenWater?

We switched to OpenWater because we needed to modernize our tech stack. At the same time, we wanted to support an online rating process for our member community. We also wanted to offer better tools for collaborating than we had offered in the past.

Do I use my SRC website account?

No. In order to submit a paper or review a solicitation, you do not need an SRC website account. However, if you are selected as a contract performer you will need to create an SRC website account.

Do I need to create an account at OpenWater?

Yes. In order to submit a paper or review a solicitation, you will need to sign up for an OpenWater account. Raters and collaborators will be invited to sign up. Researchers can sign up at their convenience.
