SOVRA Call for Projects 

Launch and Manage Calls for Projects Without Spreadsheet Chaos

Collect Once. Compare with Confidence.

Calls for projects often break down at the same pressure points: fuzzy criteria, uneven applicant capacity, biased or overloaded reviewers, slow payouts, and weak outcome tracking. Start launching and managing Calls for Projects from one modern, centralized system that collects clean, consistent submissions from every applicant, every cycle.  

Project Submissions

From Scattered Applications to One Clean Pipeline

Calls for projects have a way of turning into a patchwork of email attachments, inconsistent spreadsheet templates, and one-off intake forms — leaving staff to manually reconcile submissions before review can even start. SOVRA’s Call for Projects module replaces that patchwork with a single, purpose-built intake experience for every funding round. The result is a call that launches faster and gives your team a clean, comparable dataset from the very first submission.

  • Custom Call Configuration: Launch tailored calls with questions built for each funding opportunity
  • Flexible Call Cycles: Support annual or multi-cycle solicitations without starting from scratch
  • Centralized Submissions: Collect every application in one secure, searchable system

Data Quality & Validation

Ensure Clean, Consistent Submissions

When call submissions arrive incomplete or inconsistent, it’s rarely obvious until a reviewer is already deep into scoring — and by then, fixing it means tracking down the applicant and restarting the review. SOVRA Call for Projects checks every submission automatically as it comes in, long before it reaches anyone’s desk. That means your team spends its time evaluating projects on their merits, not chasing down missing information.

  • Spell Check and Field Validation: Catch small errors and missing entries before they reach a reviewer

  • Data Consistency Alerts: Flag missing or conflicting information automatically

  • Fewer Follow-Ups: Cut down on back-and-forth with applicants over incomplete data

“Everybody is looking at the same data. We can all sort of talk and look and make changes at the same time; the ease with which you can filter and query and do all that sort of stuff is amazing. That is the next level compared to even what the last platform was… every day I’m blown away.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is call for projects software?

Call for projects software is a structured system for soliciting, collecting, and evaluating project submissions from sponsor agencies or departments for an upcoming plan cycle. Good call for projects tools replace email- and spreadsheet-based solicitations with a guided, centralized submission process.

What challenges do MPOs and agencies face running a call for projects today?

Beyond inefficiency, manual calls for projects limit visibility. Sponsor agencies or departments submit incomplete or inconsistent data, staff chase down missing information by email, and there’s no reliable record of which submissions were considered and why.

Why does a structured call for projects process matter?

SOVRA Call for Projects centralizes submissions and checks data quality up front, helping agencies compare proposals consistently and maintain a clear record of what was submitted and considered.

Can Call for Projects be purchased on its own?

Yes. It’s available as a standalone product as well as a Plan-to-Program add-on.

Can we limit who’s allowed to submit to a call?

Yes. Access can be limited to specific sponsor agencies, departments, or partners for a given call.

Does data submitted here flow into our STIP, TIP, or CIP automatically?

If you’re also on the core platform, yes — submitted projects can move directly into your plan, whichever program it feeds, without re-entry. As a standalone product, submissions are still centralized and exportable.

What types of solicitations can this module handle?

Any call for projects your agency runs, from a standard annual TIP solicitation to a city or county’s capital call for projects to a targeted call for a specific funding program.

How does Call for Projects support audit and compliance?

Every submission, along with who submitted it and when, is automatically logged and retained.
