SOVRA Prioritize
Consistent, Transparent Prioritization for Every Program
Score Fairly. Fund with Confidence.
Without a consistent framework, prioritization often comes down to whoever advocates loudest, rather than which projects actually deliver the most value. SOVRA’s Prioritize module applies configurable scoring and funding logic to every project, so ranked, fundable projects move directly into your plans. The result: consistent, transparent prioritization where the right investments rise to the top, every time — and you can fund with confidence.
Title
Scoring & Evaluation
Set a Level Playing Field for Every Funding Channel
Without a shared scoring framework, prioritization often comes down to whoever advocates loudest in the room, and the same rubric rarely fits every funding stream. SOVRA Prioritize lets you build scoring criteria for each funding stream and applies them consistently to every project. Every project gets judged by the same rules, so decisions hold up to scrutiny.
- Custom Scoring Criteria: Tailor scoring rules to each funding stream
- Consistent Application: Maintain fairness by scoring every project the same way
- Score-Based Filtering: Filter and compare projects by score or attributes
Funding & Prioritization
Start Tracking Every Dollar
Matching funding requests to available dollars by hand makes it easy to either overcommit funds or leave money on the table. The Prioritize module tracks requests against available funding in real time and ranks projects using logic you configure. You can quickly land on the mix of projects that gets the most value out of every dollar.
- Real-Time Funding Tracking: Track funding requests against available funds
- Configurable Ranking Logic: Rank projects using scoring rules built around your priorities
- Optimal Mix Identification: Identify the combination of projects that makes the best use of funding
Data Transfer
Move Ranked Projects Into Plans
Once a project is ranked and ready, moving it into a formal plan usually means re-entering the same data all over again. The Prioritize module moves ranked projects directly into your TIP, STIP, LRTP, or CIP with a single click, carrying their full submission history along with them. Approved projects land in your plans instantly, and nothing about their history gets lost along the way.
- One-Click Plan Integration: Move ranked projects into TIP, STIP, LRTP, or CIP instantly
- Retained Submission History: Carry a project’s full history forward automatically
- Reusable Submissions: Reuse past submissions when applicants reapply for new calls

Frequently Asked Questions
Project prioritization software applies a configurable scoring process to rank candidate projects for funding. Good prioritization tools make the criteria and scoring logic visible and auditable, not a black box — whether scoring projects for a STIP, TIP, or CIP.
Beyond inefficiency, prioritization is often done manually in spreadsheets, using criteria that aren’t consistently applied or documented. That makes it hard to defend funding decisions to leadership, sponsor agencies, or the public.
Prioritize makes scoring criteria, weights, and results visible and auditable, helping agencies explain how funding decisions were made to leadership, sponsor agencies, and the public.
Yes. It’s available as a standalone product as well as a Plan-to-Program add-on.
Scoring criteria and weights are fully configurable, so the algorithm reflects your agency’s actual priorities rather than a fixed formula.
Yes. Weighting can be structured to balance regional or federal goals against local sponsor or department input.
Yes. Projects can be copied into other plans once prioritized, without manual re-entry.
Every score, weight change, and ranking decision is logged and available for reporting, giving agencies a defensible record of how projects were ranked.
