| J. Lindqvist | 18 | 5 |
| R. Patel | 21 | 2 |
16 overdue of 63 assigned to these three. Everyone else is on time. Want me to draft a reminder?

QForms · Also from CommunityForce
Not every process is an award
QForms is our general-purpose sibling to the awards platform — no-code forms, approval workflows and generated documents for everything else. Maintenance requests, permit issuance, HR onboarding, safety audits, patient intake: if it collects data, moves through approvals and ends in a document, QForms runs it.

Questions we get asked
Still not sure whether CommunityForce fits your program? Talk to an expert.
What is CommunityForce?
CommunityForce is an AI-powered awards management platform for grants, scholarships, fellowships and research funding. Founded in 2010, it has processed over 165 million applications and facilitated more than $569 million in awards for federal agencies, universities and foundations.
What types of awards does CommunityForce manage?
CommunityForce manages the complete lifecycle of grants, scholarships, fellowships and research funding programs — from application collection and committee review through disbursement, post-award compliance, financial management and impact reporting.
Is CommunityForce compliant with federal regulations?
Yes. CommunityForce is FedRAMP Ready, SOC 2 Type II certified, and compliant with Section 508 accessibility standards, FERPA and PCI-DSS. Grant programs are supported with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Guidance requirements built in.
How does CommunityForce differ from other awards management software?
Most platforms stop at application collection and basic review. CommunityForce covers the full lifecycle natively: dynamic form building with conditional logic, Phoenix Agents that summarize applications, flag AI-written essays and suggest scores for reviewers, automated quantitative scoring, batch disbursements, post-award tracking, group applications, external recommender workflows, and enterprise reporting with Power BI integration.
Who uses CommunityForce?
More than 200 organizations run awards programs on CommunityForce, including federal agencies, state governments, universities, community foundations and private foundations. Past performance includes program delivery for the U.S. Air Force and Department of Defense.
How does CommunityForce use AI in awards management?
One intelligence — Phoenix — runs across the platform. Phoenix Copilot answers questions about your own programs and data in plain English. Phoenix Agents work on a schedule or on demand: the Summary Agent gives reviewers a plain-language picture of each applicant, the Anti-AI Agent (powered by GPTZero) flags essays that may be AI-written as a data point rather than a verdict, and the Reviewer Agent suggests answers reviewers accept, adjust or ignore. All of it supports the committee rather than replacing it, and your data is never used to train AI models.
