Grant - Project interest group

Interest group members:

Damaris Murry, Jing Wang

Goals:

• facilitate the discovery of research activities
• facilitate the CV generation to include research projects
• align VIVO ontology with CERIF1.6 and CASRAI

Next steps:

• considering what is most valuable for research discovery, realizing that the full scope of information for research administration may be more complicated to represent and more difficult to obtain as data

Class Definition (and associated metadata):

• Grant: receiving relationship between funding agency and grant receiver (vivo-isf ontology v.1.6)
• project: is defined as a collaborative enterprise, involving research or design, that is carefully planned to achieve a particular aim.  Projects can be further defined as temporary rather than permanent social systems or work systems that are constituted by teams within or across organizations to accomplish particular tasks under time constraints. (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project).   In CERIF1.6, cfProject include:
  •  attributes such as cfProjectTitle, cfProjectAbstract, cfProjectKeywords,  cfProject_Classification, cfProject_Indicator, cfProject_Measurement
  •  relationships: cfProject_ResultPatent, cfProject_ResultProduct, cfProject_ResultPublication, cfProject_PrizeAward, cfProject_Event, cfProject_Facility, cfProject_Equipment, cfProject_Medium 
  • cfProject_Project, cfProject_Person,  cfProject_OrganisationUnit, cfProject_Funding
    
• fund:
• sponsor:

Requirements:

• Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.
• model multi-year funding and multi-year projects
  • track mini grants -- can these be grouped into multi-year projects just as grants can be?
• link grants to publications (or other output) - how to deal with project funded by multiple grants?
  • vivo:supportedInformationResource (an information resource (typically a publication) supported by (typically via funding) an agreement (such as a grant))
• show grant dollar amounts on CV -- what level of granularity?
• handle non-disclosure grants -- store sponsor metadata for reporting without displaying the sponsor

STAR METRICS

• data dictionary attached
• identifies five "award mechanisms" – grant, formula grant, contract, cooperative agreement, or intramural project

CERIF1.6

 cfProject include:

• attributes such as cfProjectTitle, cfProjectAbstract, cfProjectKeywords,  cfProject_Classification, cfProject_Indicator, cfProject_Measurement
• relationships: cfProject_ResultPatent, cfProject_ResultProduct, cfProject_ResultPublication, cfProject_PrizeAward, cfProject_Event, cfProject_Facility, cfProject_Equipment, cfProject_Medium 
• cfProject_Project, cfProject_Person,  cfProject_OrganisationUnit, cfProject_Funding

Casrai Research Personnel Profile model

• Parts: Identification, Contact, Education, Employment, Distinctions, Funding,Contributions
• Funding: Grants, Contracts(Works commissioned by external public agencies or industry), Awards (Peer-reviewed research funding through competitions). 
• Grants: Project Title, Multi-year Details, Grant Participants, Project Description,Funding Organization, Grant Status, Grant Type, Program Name, Total Amount, Currency, Portion of Funding, Competitive?, Funding Type,Funding Renewable?, Year Awarded, Multi-year Details, Time Commitment Per Year, Start Date, End Date, Investigation Role, Other Investigators, Roles of Other Investigators, Research Classification (concept of multi-year funding is addressed but very simplistic numeric field: Year, Amount, Percentage)
• the personal profile model doesn't focus on the concept of "project" (only an attribute under funding).  Perhaps the Research Activity Profile model, which is still in a draft status, will better model a project as a stand-alone entity.

Previous work:

• Stella's work through Scripps to represent the additional nuances of NIH grants, including long-term grants that have annual renewals showing up as sub-grants.
