• Develop a Science Experts Network (SciENCV) automated CV-like data services platform to integrate with federal agencies processes and facilitate collaboration among scientists

• Create Disambiguated links to researchers grants and their scientific output

• Use current technologies to pull data from federal and non-federal sources

• Streamline grant and contract applications• Reduce PI burden • Advance common understanding of the results of

scientific investments• Respond to stakeholder interests

Vision

3

Project Structure

• Interagency Workgroup - Six Federal agencies: NIH, NSF, DOE, DOD, EPA, USDA, OSTP and OMB also are participating

• Operates under two NSTC interagency groups – Research Business Models(RBM) and Science of Science Policy (SOSP)

• Workgroup Co-Chairs • NSF • NIH

• Subcommittees• Functional Architecture• Communications

• Partnership with FDP

4

Guiding Principles• System Design driven by community needs• Researchers voluntarily participate• Researchers control content and the display• Information auto-populated from existing

resources• Researchers validate, augment and modify

information as needed• Employ existing technology where available• Adopt international data standards • Make SciENcv as interoperable as possible• Make it easy to use – with lots of benefits!• With wide-use becomes an important source of

information on US scientists

Tagging

• Bibliography• RIS

• TY - Type of reference (must be the first tag)

• A2 - Secondary Author • AU - Author (each author on its own line

preceded by the DO – DOI

• Endnote• %A - Author• %B - Editor /Secondary Author• %9 - Type of Work• %@ - ISBN/ISSN

• XML• Pubmed• Word (version 7.0 and higher)

Why consider ORCID?

24

Disambiguation (!)

• Agencies can disambiguate their own grantees.• What is missing?

o Paper associate only primary PIo Track PIs across agencyo Career trackingo Check duplicate funding

• Real value added through common adoption

25

• Finalize proof-of-concept pilot using input from FDP• Identify Funding• Explore policy issues, privacy, paperwork reduction, etc.• Involve CIO, OMB, agencies, etc. • Develop partnerships with profilers (Harvard Profiles,

VIVO, ORCID, others)• Design/build the pilot system - in partnership with FDP • Test- in partnership with FDP • Demonstrate utility – Proof-of-concept – generate

biosketches, ease of use, use of existing data sources• Decision about production system

Potential “deliverables”• Build system (RDF/XML, semantic web approaches)

Identify potential data elements/relationships (ORCID & others)

• Design researcher interfaces • Log-in• Pre-populate information related to grants\contracts• Pre-populate publications• Pre-populate patent information• Provide interface for claiming/validating data

• Demonstrate value to users (Interagency Team + FDP)• CV and biosketch generator• Pre-populate federal forms and data collections• Expertise/Research interest generator – concept

mining• Explore reporting capabilities
