Fusion Practices and Unit4 Announce Partnership to Deliver GrantsNow — The Future of Pre-Awards Funding Management
We’re delighted to announce a strategic partnership between Fusion Practices and Unit4, launching GrantsNow as a next-generation pre-awards funding solution — and the official successor to the former RCP Costing Tool.
GrantsNow integrates natively with the Unit4 ERP Cloud platform, delivering significant efficiency gains across the full pre-award’s lifecycle — from opportunity discovery, full economic costing, and proposal development to contract management and due diligence. This streamlined solution enables institutions to move faster, reduce errors, and make more informed decisions around research funding.
Adopted already by forward-thinking institutions such as Queen Margaret University, University of East Anglia, and University of Huddersfield, GrantsNow is rapidly becoming the go-to platform for research-intensive universities looking to modernise and scale their funding capabilities.
Key Benefits:
- Seamless integration with Unit4 ERP for Finance, HR & Research
- Automated costing compliant with TRAC and Horizon Europe
- Centralised management of ethics, documents, and due diligence
- Built-in dashboards and self-service configuration tools
- Single source of truth across stakeholders, reducing manual entry and errors
By combining GrantsNow’s powerful functionality with Unit4’s dynamic ERP Cloud platform, this partnership sets a new standard for end-to-end grants management in higher education and research.
