Stop Scientific Design Requests from Being Disorganized
Research design teams field constant requests for technical diagrams, presentation slides, and proposal graphics. OneDesk turns these requests into structured, trackable tickets. This ensures clear project briefs and organized asset delivery. Focus on communicating science effectively, not managing email clutter.
Simple Submission for Research and Admin Requests
Provide an internal submission portal for PIs and administrators to request creative work. Connect your communications email to capture external press or collaborator communications. Set up SLAs to prioritize urgent requests for grant submission deadlines or major announcements. Custom views organize requests by lab or campaign.
Plan Proposal Graphics and Communication Projects
Manage large projects like a major grant proposal or an institutional annual report. Break the project down into design tasks: concept, draft, technical review, and final presentation. Assign tasks to internal designers or external vendors. Use visual tracking to ensure materials meet critical submission deadlines. Keep projects on schedule.
Automate Proofing Cycles and Request Routing
Automatically assign new technical diagram requests to the specialist with the relevant subject matter expertise. Set up rules to move a task to 'Review' once the designer uploads a proof. Send automatic reminders for approval feedback to the Principal Investigator (PI). Automation speeds up the creative production line.
Track Internal Design Time for Grant Billing
Track the internal non-billable time spent supporting different labs or administrative needs. Log billable time for design services charged to specific research grants. Generate internal quotes for design services offered to external collaborators. Use time tracking for accurate grant effort reporting.
AI Helps Design Triage and Content Summaries
Use the AI assistant to summarize long, technical project briefs from researchers into concise design requirements. It can help draft professional feedback to designers on a creative proof. AI can categorize incoming requests by research domain instantly. This reduces administrative overhead. Your team delivers accurate, brand-aligned assets faster.
