grants analytics

Every award, down to the dollar still available.

Orbit extracts, unifies, and models award and funding data from every system you run — Oracle Fusion Cloud, E-Business Suite, NetSuite, PeopleSoft and beyond — then lands it in the cloud warehouse and BI tool you already chose. Sponsor funding through inception-to-date balances, prebuilt and KPI-ready.

Subject areas built around the number everyone asks for

Every conversation about an award — with a principal investigator, a department head, or a sponsor — ends at the same figure. Orbit models the four terms behind it, at award level and project level, so the balance is a query rather than a reconciliation exercise.

Tracked at both year-to-date and inception-to-date, by award and by project.

Award Portfolio

FUNDING · SCOPE · REACH

Total funding across the award portfolio, split into direct and indirect, with the projects, customer accounts, and departments each award reaches. The institutional view that sits above any single grant.

Budget Performance

YTD & ITD · BY AWARD

The balance identity resolved for every award and every project underneath it — budget, expense, commitments and remaining balance — on both a year-to-date and an inception-to-date basis, because a multi-year award needs both readings.

Sponsors & Funding Source

FEDERAL · NON-FEDERAL · PURPOSE

Federal and non-federal funding kept separate at every level of the model, with allocation traceable by award purpose — the split that determines which reporting rules apply and which costs are allowable against which pot.

Principal Investigators

ALLOCATION · ACCOUNTABILITY

Funding rolled up to the investigator who owns it, across every award they hold and every department they draw from—so a PI gets one balance they can act on instead of a spreadsheet assembled by hand each month.

Award Expenditure

PROJECT SUBLEDGER · COST DETAIL

Award spend is recorded on the project subledger, so the same model carries it down to the transaction: total and burdened expenditure by month, traced back to the source that raised it. Indirect cost recovery stops being an assumption.

›Total Expenditures›Burdened Cost by Transaction Source›Cost by Month›Top Projects by Cost›Expenditures on Hold

An award is a financial object with  a sponsor attached.

The same modelled layer covers General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Procurement and HCM — so award spend reconciles to the GL, supplier invoices land against the commitments that encumbered them, and salary cost maps to the people whose effort it funded.
