Elicit Nonprofit Discount & Pricing

Elicit is an AI-powered research assistant that helps researchers, academics, and knowledge workers find and synthesize scientific literature at unprecedented speed and scale. Unlike traditional academic databases that simply return lists of papers, Elicit uses large language models to search across 125+ million academic papers, extract key findings and data points, summarize research, and conduct systematic reviews—transforming weeks of literature review work into hours. The platform is particularly valuable for evidence-based organizations, program evaluators, and grant writers who need to ground their work in published research.

Elicit's core capabilities address the most time-consuming aspects of research synthesis. The semantic search goes beyond keyword matching to understand research questions and find relevant papers even when terminology differs, the paper summarization generates instant abstracts and key takeaways from any paper in the database, the data extraction with 94-99% accuracy pulls specific information like sample sizes, methodologies, and outcomes into structured tables for comparison, the systematic review workflows guide researchers through rigorous literature review processes meeting academic standards, the research alerts monitor new publications matching your interests and notify you when relevant papers are published, the citation analysis helps trace the lineage of ideas and find seminal works in any field, and the full-text chat allows asking questions about papers and receiving answers grounded in the actual text with citations.

For nonprofits, Elicit addresses the challenge of building evidence-based programs and proposals without dedicated research staff: program designers can rapidly review what interventions have worked in similar contexts to inform program development, grant writers can cite recent peer-reviewed research to strengthen funding proposals and demonstrate evidence-based approaches, evaluators can conduct literature reviews for logic models and theories of change grounded in published research, policy advocates can gather and synthesize research evidence to support advocacy positions, and executive directors can stay current on best practices in their field without spending hours reading journals. While Elicit does not offer a dedicated nonprofit discount program, its tiered pricing starting with a free Basic plan makes research capabilities accessible to resource-constrained organizations. Larger nonprofits, research institutes, and foundations should contact Elicit about institutional subscriptions that may offer volume pricing.
