For Institutions

Enterprise-grade research procurement

SciFlow gives pharma, governments, universities, and foundations the infrastructure to commission research globally — with competitive bidding, milestone escrow, and audit trails that compliance teams actually like.

Pharmaceutical Companies

  • Commission independent biomarker validation before Phase II investment
  • Run competitive RFPs for toxicology studies across 10+ CROs simultaneously
  • Fund open-ended exploration bounties for novel MOA discovery
  • Validate competitor claims with independent replication studies

Example bounty

"Validate efficacy of compound X in murine glioblastoma model. $120K, 3 milestones, trusted-tier labs only."

Government Agencies

  • Post open RFPs with full transparency — any verified lab worldwide can bid
  • Structured milestone payments replace slow bureaucratic disbursements
  • All deliverables hashed on IPFS — permanent audit trail for grant management
  • Integrate with existing grant systems via API (SAP, Banner, Coeus)

Example bounty

"NIH-style open challenge: novel antibiotic mechanisms against gram-negative bacteria. $500K pooled from 3 agencies."

Universities & Tech Transfer

  • Commercialize faculty IP by posting validation bounties to external labs
  • Fund replication studies that validate publishable findings
  • Create sponsored research agreements directly on-platform
  • Generate revenue for the institution from successful bounty outcomes

Example bounty

"Replicate and extend our proteomics findings in 3 independent cell lines. $45K, 60-day timeline."

Foundations & Patient Groups

  • Post disease-specific bounties that any qualified lab globally can apply for
  • Set up recurring research programs with annual bounty cycles
  • Quadratic funding pools — small donor contributions matched by foundation
  • Full transparency: donors see exactly which milestones their funds unlocked

Example bounty

"Alzheimer's Association: $200K pool for tau clearance mechanism studies. 8 milestones, institutional labs only."
