Deriving Actionable Insights from Research Funding Portfolios through Interactive Data Visualizations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Characterizing the existing funding portfolio of any federal agency becomes difficult due to the number, complexity, and diversity of funded projects and associated metadata. Deep Insights Anywhere, Anytime (DIA2) is a new platform that makes it easy to access and understand funding portfolios. Providing insights to determine the impact of any funded project can be challenging, especially in terms of qualifying the return on investment of the research activity. This paper presents results of assessing DIA2’s usability and explains how DIA2 can provide meaningful representations that contribute to determining the impact of a research portfolio. The results show that DIA2 has good usability. Further, participants identified several indicators of impact as a result of the visualizations that can be realized through DIA2.
