FAQ
Short, accurate answers about what Baylani does today.
Baylani is a platform for finding grant and contract opportunities, drafting applications against the requirements, and managing the award once you win it, with built-in fund accounting. Already keep books in QuickBooks Online or Xero? Connect them read-only instead.
Grants.gov (federal grants), SAM.gov (federal contract opportunities), and DC PASS (District of Columbia solicitations). You see them in one list, with the source labelled on every row.
Baylani reads the opportunity document and builds a requirements checklist, each line quoting the page it came from. A person on your team reviews and accepts each one; nothing is treated as a requirement until it has been accepted.
Baylani transmits to Grants.gov through its system-to-system interface when an authorized person approves the submission.
No. An authorized person must approve every submission. Baylani never submits on its own.
QuickBooks Online and Xero, read-only. Baylani attributes that activity to the funding sources and awards that paid for it and never posts back.
No. You can keep your books in Baylani's built-in fund accounting: double-entry books with funds and restrictions, invoices and bills, bank reconciliation, journal entries, financial statements, and month-end close. If you already use QuickBooks Online or Xero, you can connect it read-only instead.
Plain-language questions about what is due, what an award allows, what is left to spend on it (from the records you have connected), and what needs attention — from records you are permitted to see. When the records cannot answer, Ask says so.
Invite colleagues with workspace roles so finance, programs, and compliance each see what they need. Access is enforced in the database, not just the interface.
Yes. Baylani is built for small teams and organizations that manage grants and contracts without a dedicated office. A larger research office can also run Baylani alongside an existing eRA system — the eRA page covers that use.
Baylani is built and operated by BridgeTrust Partners LLC, Washington, DC. Questions: hello@baylani.com.
