🔬 SciLeads Setup & Workflow

The goal is to identify and target relevant researchers (e.g., gas sensor experts in Silicon Valley) by applying refined search strategies, funding filters, and keyword management.

1️⃣ Log Into SciLeads

  • Open SciLeads in your browser and log in with your account
  • Ensure a stable internet connection to avoid interruptions during searches or list building

2️⃣ Start with a Targeted Search

  • Enter specific keywords (e.g., “gas sensor”) instead of broad terms (e.g., “sensor”)
  • Narrow the search region (e.g., Bay Area / Silicon Valley) to focus on relevant geographies

3️⃣ Apply Funding Filters

  • Use the funding filter to find researchers with active grants
  • ✅ Prioritize these profiles → grant holders usually have budget authority and influence

4️⃣ Build & Manage Lists

  • Create dedicated lists (e.g., “Gas Sensor California”) to capture and track results
  • Add new profiles as searches expand
  • Use list functionality to organize leads for outreach campaigns

5️⃣ Refine with Advanced Filters

  • Exclude irrelevant categories (e.g., biotechnology, biochemistry) using NOT operators
  • Add inclusion/exclusion keywords to sharpen search relevance
  • Pull from varied research categories (trade shows, publications, grants) for more complete results

6️⃣ Manage Keywords for Reports

  • Upload a keyword library (from ICP document) instead of manual entry
  • Ensure keywords are linked to your account for bi-weekly funding reports
  • Update keywords regularly to align with evolving ICPs

7️⃣ Analyze Profiles

  • Review each researcher’s focus areas, funding status, and recent publications
  • Confirm alignment with your ICP before moving profiles into outreach workflows

✅ Best Practices

  • Always start narrow (specific keyword + funding) before expanding search scope
  • Keep lists organized by research area + geography
  • Exclude biotech early to save time on irrelevant results
  • Regularly update keyword sets to improve search specificity
  • Double-check funding status → strongest signal of researcher relevance

🎯 Outcome

Using SciLeads with this workflow ensures you consistently identify high-value, well-funded researchers who match ATLANT 3D’s ICP — streamlining outreach and improving targeting.
