Watch for amendments
When an amended NOFO posts, ELIXIR CONSUMERS diffs it and lists every change that affects your draft.
“The rubric extractor means we never miss a single scored sub-question. Our internal review now starts from the points, not from someone's memory of the NOFO.”
What NOFO Parser does not do
- It does not interpret ambiguous eligibility for you; it flags the language and links the page so you can ask the program officer.
- It does not register you in SAM.gov or Grants.gov.
ELIXIR CONSUMERS is authoring and administrative management software for grant seekers. ELIXIR CONSUMERS does not guarantee grant awards or funding approvals. Final submission review, financial disclosures and institutional certifications are the sole responsibility of the applicant organization.
Questions, answered
Does it work on foundation RFPs, not just federal NOFOs?
Yes. Foundation RFPs are usually shorter and less structured; the parser still extracts questions, limits, attachments and dates, and infers emphasis when no point values are published.
What happens when a NOFO is amended?
Upload or re-fetch the amended version. ELIXIR CONSUMERS compares it section by section and lists each change that touches a drafted section, limit or attachment.
How accurate is the extraction?
Every extracted item links to the source page so a person confirms it. Rubric points and page limits are the fields teams check first, and they are shown side by side with the original text.
