June Announcements
Academic Research Context & Trends
Collaboration
Over 57% of researchers bring the right expertise to projects through collaboration both inside (60%) and outside of their lab (40%)
Big Data
Over 51% of data sets used by researchers are on the order of gigabytes to terabytes in size.”…data volumes are doubling every year in most areas of modern science”
Analytics
"we need increasingly powerful scientific tools...an informatics infrastructure that has built-in flexibility to incorporate new types of data and navigate across tiers and domains of knowledge."
Do more with less
■ More interdisciplinary research projects
■ Greater student participation in research
■ Better human resource utilization
■ More collaboration across disciplines or campuses
Public research university focusing on enterprise development resulting from the introduction & implementation of new technologies. The major objective of this focus area is to strengthen the Rhode Island economy by creating new jobs.
Optimize project resources per university metrics Improved staffing of
projects with high impact on university reputation

IBM Academic Research Collaboration & Analytics
Academic Research Collaboration & Analytics (ARCA) Scope
1. Finding and pursuing research funding excessive investment of time and labor
• Use analytics to discover and recommend funding opportunities (e.g. grants)• Improve access to funding opportunities for junior faculty
2. Forming teams to pursue interdisciplinary proposals isolated experts & students
• Recommend research projects to potential collaborators• Optimize assignment of people to projects
3. Collaborating across disciplines and organizations fragmented view of a researcher
• Use a portal platform for an aggregated, collaborative, social network based researcher profile
4. Enabling experiential learning for students poor participation in mentoring programs
• Suggest potential mentors to students based on matches of student interests and faculty research
ARCA: Analytics-informed and Collaboration-focused social software environment for academic research
