/
Opportunity
Statement
Currently,
UNH
has
no
capability
to
measure,
evaluate,
or
understand
the
strength
of
its
research
enterprise
from
the
perspec3ve
of
research
outputs:
those
data
and
publica3ons
that
are
cited
and
influen3al
in
the
global
research
community.
On
occasion,
an
analysis
has
come
out
in
the
past,
conducted
by
an
informa3on
provider
such
as
Thomson-‐Reuters,
that
has
shown
UNH
to
have
tremendous
impacts
in
certain
areas
(for
example,
one
analysis
showed
UNH
had
the
#1
impact
in
the
country
in
the
areas
of
Geoscience
and
Forestry).
This
type
of
informa3on
is
cri3cal
to
know
for
many
reasons,
including
adver3sing
and
recrui3ng
faculty
and
students,
retaining
faculty,
and
communica3ng
our
unique
research
strengths
towards
becoming
a
University
of
Choice.
This
type
of
informa3on
will
also
help
to
make
faculty
more
produc3ve
and
impaceul
researchers.
23. Project
Descrip7on
The
purpose
of
this
project
is
to
select
a
tool
or
tools
to
be
implemented
in
a
future
project
that
will
accomplish
four
func3ons:
• Capture
informa3on
on
UNH
research,
including
publica3ons,
cita3on
data,
grants,
archived
research
data,
to

it.
• Match
UNH
researcher
profiles
with
external
funding
sources.
• Integrate
with
exis3ng
repositories
for
UNH
research
data

share
data
and
publica3ons
as
s3pulated
by
the
gran3ng
organiza3on(s).
• Place
UNH
research
and
researchers
in
the
context
of
global
research
outputs
to
enable
valua3on
of
specific
areas
of
the
UNH
research
enterprise
in
a
global
context
and
to
strategically
evaluate
prospec3ve
partners
and
new
hires.
24. Project

27. Benefits
/
Business
Case
• For
UNH
to
become
a
University
of
Choice
requires
knowledge
and
communica3on
of
our
research
strengths
and
the
local,
na3onal
and
global
impact
of
our
research
programs.
• For
UNH
to
airact
and
retain
top
faculty
talent,
it
is
impera3ve
to
iden3fy
prospec3ve
hires
and
those
in
our
ranks
who
are
top
performers
in
areas
of
exis3ng
strength
or
strategic
new
areas
of
research
growth.
28. • Research
outputs
are
cri3cal
to
capture
and
present
in
order
to:
• Measure
the
quality,
performance
and
impact
of
research
from
ins3tutes,
centers,
departments
and
schools.
• Measure
the
research
impact
of
individuals.
• Connect
research
inputs
(grants
and
contracts)
with
outputs
(data,
informa3on,
papers,
books,
cita3ons).
• Connect
grants
with
research
outputs,
and
capture
research
data
and
other
outputs
in
an
archive
(now
required
by
some
federal
agencies).
• Comply
with
federal
mandates
for
open
access
to
research
data
and
outcomes.
• Maintain
web
sites
and
researcher
profiles
with
daily
updates
to
data
and
informa3on
• Increase
visibility
of
high
quality
research
programs
and
facilitate
connec3ons
through
researcher
networks
to
increase
federal
funding
and
airac3on
of
top
graduate
student
talent.
• Research
Analy3cs
are
cri3cal
to
place
the
UNH
scholarly
output
in
a
global
context
of
research
impact.
• Iden3fy
ins3tu3ons
with
complementary
research
strengths
for
partnerships.
• Iden3fy
high
performing
individuals
to
target
for
hiring.
• Provide
analyses
showing
the
areas
in
which
UNH
is
among
the
leaders
in
the
world
in
order
to
communicate
the
value
of
UNH
and
its
researchers.
