1 FDP SciENCV Pilot FDP era Committee January 12, 2012

2 Introductions Outline Background & Updates Overview of FDP SciENCV Questionniare and Results SciENCV at the 50,000 foot level SciENCV as an FDP demonstration/ pilot Discussion/Q&A

3 SciENCV Questionnaire Questionnaire sent November 2011 o New and seasoned research faculty o Research Administrators o Research Technical staff o FDP Member institutions (Faculty, Research Admin, ERA committees) o AAAS fellows o NIH PECASE Nominees o NSF Career Awardees o AAU, APLU, NAS, AAMC, AASCU What activities are most burdensome? What would you like to see in a common platform? What profile systems do you use?/how do you store your profile?

4 Questionnaire Results 550 responses from targeted groups (12/9/11) Faculty: 365 responses Administrators: 144 responses Technical: 40 responses Willing to participate in Pilot: responses as of 1/9/12

5 Faculty Details Faculty: 365 responses o Most burdensome activities Entering current & pending support (72.3%) Entering biographic info into different forms (63.6%) Entering publication information (50.6%) o Desired features in common platform Automation of biosketches (66.6%) Automation of annual/final reports (49.9%) Enhanced ability to demonstrate scientific impact (40.1%)

7 Others mentioned Compliance information Should this be included in requirements?

8 Other functionality mentioned by Faculty Use my name/id number and institution, manage my biosketch content, and have all my contact and historical information automatically show up at Federal agencies. Agency science review data Current & Pending support populated Compliance information populated Managing and generating C&P reports Annual and final report formats Enable JIT mechanism for information Automation of publications & other support Standardization of biosketches and other forms

20 The Link Between SciENCV and STAR METRICS

21 STAR METRICS Goal: Common empirical infrastructure to document results of science investments Approach: Automatically capture data about the conduct of science inputs, outputs and the connections between the two Source: Ian Foster University of Chicago

22 STAR METRICS Level I: Who is employed by science funding? o Current jobs o Future workforce Level II: What are the results of science? o scientific knowledge (such as publications and citations..) o economic growth (through patents, firm start ups and other measures ) o workforce outcomes (through student mobility and employment..) o social outcomes (such as health and environment ) 22

23 Automatically capture data about the conduct of science inputs, outputs and the connections between the two Source: Ian Foster University of Chicago

24 Future Benefits Principal Investigator: o Uses Portfolio Explorer to find FOAs from programs that fund his/ her work o Uses SciENCV information to populate application forms o Uses SciENCV via common ID (like ORCID) to verify CV information and update Portfolio Explorer/Expertise Locator o Uses SciENCV/Expertise Locator to identify potential collaborators o Uses SciENCV to initiate the progress report process Agency: o Uses SciENCV to access PI/Co-PI/Collaborator bio information o Uses Portfolio Explorer/Expertise Locator to analyze areas for potential funding and find experts in science fields

25 Future Benefits Awardee institution: o Research Admins use SciENCV to assist researchers with applications/reports o Leadership uses Portfolio Explorer/Expertise Locator to identify areas of excellence and cultivate research teams in desired priority areas Cross-stakeholder: o Larger picture of impact on local/regional economy o ROI on investment (federal grants/contracts)

26 The FDP Pilot Focuses on SciENCV narrows use case to researcher profile Proof of concept: Generate biosketches in agency specific formats for application submission Profile populated with data from existing sources o Researcher claims/rejects items in the profile, identifies missing items o Generate multiple instances of bio information o Populate application formats o Populate progress report formats Construct formats around scenario specific actions

27 Burden Reduction o Automation o Single Sign-On o Persistent researcher id Ownership o Voluntary Key Principles o Researcher controls own information o Researcher provides own data to describe research outcomes Collaborative o FDP research institution/agency pilot
