Hello 

The new Comcast Innovation Fund site is now open and accepting funding requests for 2019 at https://comcastinnovationfund.smartsimple.com

As we wrote in an email sent to you last week, the Comcast Innovation Fund has switched to a new grant application management system.  To use this new system you'll need to re-register with an account on the new site and create your grant proposals via the new system.  

The direct link to the new site is:
https://comcastinnovationfund.smartsimple.com

The direct link to the old site (which you will be able to access for a time) is:
https://comcast.fluidreview.com

Registering for the new site

Registration for the new site will use your email address as your login name.   

As part of registering for the new system we will also ask you to setup your associated company/instituation/organization.  If you are not professionally affiliated with an organization, please setup for your orginzation what you would use if you were contracting such as your personal company or personal LLC infomation.    We use the organization information to manage distributions for awarded grants.

Once you've registered, the system will send you a confirmation email with a link that you will use to set your password on the new account.

Exisitng Drafts and Open Applications

You will need to recreate any Draft Applications and Submitted Applications that were still open for review on the old system.  This is necessary so that your new application is properly linked to your account on the new system.  The forms are very similar and recreating them is a simple matter of a few minutes of your time to cut and paste between the old and new systems.   

If you are one of the people with an application that is still under review in the old system, this change will not change your project reviewed or your chances of being approved in anyway. It's just a new platform for managing the existing review process.  

The criteria and committee review process the fund uses remain the same, we are just switching to a new management tool for administering the process.

Innovationfund.comcast.com

The main Innovation Fund site innovationfund.comcast.com is still being migrated, so for now please use the direct link above to register, draft, and submit applications.   We'll notify you when the main site migration is complete so you can resume using it.

If you have questions please email us at innovation_fund@comcast.com.
