An analysis commissioned from Elsevier by the UK Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) The UK is a global research leader but faces major challenges including funding levels and growth vs. others, eg. China The UK’s aim is to sustain a “strong, productive research base which is responsive, flexible and dynamic” to drive long-term growth Elsevier’s Objective: Build robust, fact-based assessments and insights to help BIS target future investments to maximize growth and societal impact and explore implications for UK research policy Download the analysis at Analytical Expertise: UK BIS Report
Portfolio Possibilities at NIH (5 Min) How Elsevier can aid NIH in Portfolio Analysis
Adding bibliometrics to grant-based publication analysis. (researcher profiling, etc.) Normalized trans-institute analysis of funded & unfunded research (Common Fund, etc.), RFA vs. Unfunded Expertise profiling of extramural program officers and intramural researchers to help facilitate collaboration. Portfolio Possibilities at NIH
Demo: Institutional Portal (5 Min) Example of a quick and powerful task portal
Elsevier Institutional Portal Example
Other Similar Opportunities (5 Min) Notable, other similar opportunities
Supporting and Optimizing the Peer Review Process, efficient many-to-many matching, overlap checking, etc. Aiding DPCPSI and other NIH-wide organizations and initiatives (Common Fund, Neuroscience, Obesity, OBSSR, BECON, OAR, ODP, etc…) Supporting Translational Science initiatives (CTSA, B2B, etc.) President Obama’s Brain Initiative Other Opportunities
Peer Review Process: Gaps? Overlap? Optimal?
Trans-Institute: Common Fund, et. al.
Translational Science: e.g. Bench to Bedside
