Pure Award Management is cloud-hosted software for research institutions coordinating funding from opportunity discovery through applications, awards, contracts, outputs and outcomes. Research offices can create, submit and track applications with real-time status updates; the system also helps identify funding opportunities and provides approved applications as references. Successful applications can become awards, with post-award requirements such as contracts and ethics reviews configured alongside milestones, renewals and additional funding. Flexible reporting covers funding trends, performance measures and grant outcomes. Teams can track compliance requirements and timelines, then link research outputs and outcomes to projects and showcase impact on a Pure portal. Elsevier lists integrations with Funding Institutional, Infonetica and Agresso, as well as institutional HR, finance and grant systems and external sources such as Scopus, Web of Science and ORCID. Pure exposes a REST API and supports standards-based data exchange. Elsevier says it serves over 130 institutions worldwide. Customer data resides in the agreed geographic location, and customers retain ownership and control and can extract it. Pricing is on request; the product page invites prospective customers to contact Elsevier for a demonstration.
