The Work Today
Your compliance team spends days doing Google searches and cross-referencing databases. Three weeks later, someone finally approves the grant. Meanwhile, PIs are waiting. And if something slips through, nobody can prove you looked.
How Nobris Helps
Upload a proposal. Nobris screens it in under a minute against sanctions lists, restricted entity databases, publication networks, and policy frameworks. The report cites every source. Every compliance decision is documented.
Three Steps to Faster, Documented Approvals
Upload
Drop a funding source name into Nobris. Organization, individual, or both. Takes 30 seconds.
Screen
Our engine cross-references sanctions lists, restricted entity databases, publication networks, and policy frameworks. Results in under a minute.
Decide
You get a report that proves your decision. Researchers see a clear verdict. Compliance sees sources, flags, and reasoning. Auditors see everything.
Six Screening Categories That Actually Matter
Every finding cites the source it came from and the policy it triggers.
Sanctions & Export Controls
OFAC, BIS, entity lists. Standard, but essential. Checked in seconds, not hours.
Publication Networks
Co-author patterns and institutional affiliations surfaced automatically. Collaborations and affiliation changes over time — context manual review misses.
ITAR & Export Control Triage
Proposals involving defense-relevant technology get flagged with USML category references and dual-use indicators. Not a determination, but a heads-up for your export control office.
Misappropriation Red Flags
Foreign talent programs, undisclosed affiliations, restricted party connections. The patterns that generic screening tools aren't built to find.
Sponsor & Funding Analysis
Nobris identifies the funding agency, classifies it as defense, civilian, or foreign, and activates the appropriate review framework. DoD-funded proposals get the decision matrix. Civilian proposals skip it.
Due Diligence Documentation
Every source cited. Every link traced. Defensible proof that you looked. Audit-ready from day one.
AI Does the Legwork. You Make the Call.
Nobris doesn’t approve or reject proposals. It surfaces the evidence, the policy citations, and the relevant indicators. The judgment stays with your team.
Who It’s For
Research Security Officers

Compliance Teams
One consistent process across every reviewer, every program, every sponsor. No more judgment calls without context or documentation without sources.
