Ethical AI. Human expertise.
Uncompromising security.
At Grant Management Associates, your privacy, security, and the integrity of your grant applications are our highest priorities. As AI evolves rapidly, some firms have rushed to adopt low-cost tools like DeepSeek — raising serious concerns about data privacy and offshore data storage. We do things differently.
No offshore processing. No data routed to jurisdictions with sovereign risk. All AI infrastructure lives on U.S. soil under U.S. law.
AI helps identify and analyze — but every proposal narrative is authored by an experienced GMA professional.
Your capability statements, project descriptions, and proposal drafts are your intellectual property. Full stop.
We disclose which AI tools we use, how they're trained, and how we mitigate bias in every engagement.
Funders are increasingly cautious — and some prohibit AI-authored content outright. We never expose you to that risk.
Our AI partners meet enterprise-grade security requirements including SOC 2 Type II attestations.
AI accelerates discovery — humans deliver the narrative.
Semantic search across 10,000+ live programs to surface high-fit opportunities in minutes, not weeks.
Automatically extract review criteria, formatting rules, and deadlines from complex FOAs.
Rapid synthesis of past awardees, agency priorities, and adjacent programs to inform positioning.
AI, security & privacy.
Do you use ChatGPT / DeepSeek / Claude?+
We selectively use U.S.-based enterprise AI providers under NDAs and enterprise data-handling terms. We do not use DeepSeek or any tool that routes data offshore.
Where is my proposal data stored?+
Encrypted at rest and in transit on U.S.-based infrastructure. Access is scoped to your engagement team only.
Will funders know AI was used?+
The final narrative is authored and reviewed by a human. AI accelerates research and analysis — it does not draft your proposal.
What if my funder prohibits AI use?+
We honor that constraint absolutely. Our SOPs allow for AI-off engagements and we document our approach for your compliance file.
Do you offer contracts with data-handling terms?+
Yes — we routinely execute MSAs and DPAs with client-specific privacy, security, and IP terms.
Have security questions? Let's talk.
Our team will walk through your specific data-handling and compliance requirements — no NDA required to start the conversation.
