Encompass research workspace showing a mission search and results

Built with researchers, innovation offices, and mission partners.

Organizations shown reflect programs, conversations, collaborations, or ecosystem participation and do not necessarily indicate formal endorsement.

The Research Discovery Gap

More research doesn't automatically create more understanding.

Federal teams don't struggle to find research. They struggle to understand it. Thousands of papers, projects, researchers, organizations, and funding opportunities are scattered across disconnected sources, making it difficult to see the bigger picture or identify what matters most.

Information Overload

Thousands of search results leave users to figure out what's actually relevant to their mission.

Fragmented Intelligence

Research, funding, organizations, investigators, and maturity signals live across disconnected sources.

Missed Transition Opportunities

Promising solutions remain unseen, underdeveloped, or disconnected from operational needs.

SEARCH REIMAGINED

Explore research beyond the search results.

Instead of overwhelming users with thousands of search results, Encompass organizes research into a mission-level overview. From there, users can explore research clusters, funding activity, timelines, researchers, organizations, and detailed research profiles—all within a single workspace.

Mission Need

Start with an operational problem or mission objective to guide the search.

AI Search

Why Encompass

Designed for decisions, not document retrieval.

Mission-Focused

Results are organized around the user's operational intent, not just repeated keywords.

Connected Research

Reveal connections across research, funding, organizations, researchers, and time that traditional search tools often miss.

Evidence You Can Trust

Insights remain traceable to the original research and source material.

Built for Exploration

Move from a strategic overview into individual papers and profiles without losing context.

Our Mission

Make valuable research easier to find, understand, and transition.

Encompass was built after conversations with federal researchers, science advisors, technology transition offices, and mission partners. We kept hearing the same challenge:

Promising academic research exists, but the people who could use it often cannot efficiently discover or evaluate it.

Instead of asking users to sort through thousands of papers, Encompass organizes research into a clear, mission-focused view that helps teams understand what's out there, identify what matters, and explore it with confidence.

Team

The team behind Encompass.

Built by an interdisciplinary team at UC San Diego with backgrounds in product strategy, software engineering, machine learning, and user experience. Our work is shaped by ongoing conversations with federal researchers, science advisors, technology transition offices, and mission partners.
