Grant - Project working group

Working group member:

Damaris Murry, Jing Wang

Goal:

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

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:

Grant 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

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

• grants, awards, and contracts roll up to the broader category of "funding"
• concept of multi-year funding is addressed but very simplistic (numeric field)
• the personal profile model doesn't focus on the concept of "project" (only an attribute under funding).  Perhaps the 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.
