A small team of Calit2 programmers has been developing a set of Web-based tools to help you identify new federal funding opportunities, track news affiliated with Calit2 corporate partners, and identify potential collaborators on the UCSD campus based on their research strengths. The site is located at http://ri.calit2.net. A Calit2 news story on the site, and its full functionality can be found at http://www.calit2.net/newsroom/article.php?id=1093
At IVL, we are creating a graphical viewer for tiled display walls which is going to showcase the site's information in a compact way to give users a quick overview of the latest news. Interactive elements are going to allow the user to drill down into detail.
The site provides four major kinds of data:
1) Federal Grant Information: Updated daily, the Web site contains a review of new grants that may be of interest to Calit2-affiliated faculty. If you see a grant that you are interested in, you can quickly access the official solicitation, email a summary to a friend, or post it to a social networking site (del.icio.us or connotea). For those of you who are interested in doing your own data mining of opportunities, we also make available a really simple syndication (rss) feed of the raw grant data -- updated daily -- from all federal solicitations.
2) Corporate Partner News: Since its founding in 2000, Calit2 has received funding from approximately 81 companies. On a daily basis we aggregate stories of relevance to Calit2 and add them to our industry news page. We have also created company profiles that allow you to quickly see a "heads-up display" on our partners, corporate links, and breaking news.
3) Research Strengths: Using publicly accessible Web sites, abstracts of NSF and NIH grants affiliated with Calit2, and some limited publications, we have used data and text mining techniques to develop for each researcher a "draft" profile of their research interests. Clusters of terms from individual researchers were then pulled together to create a view of the top 50 and top 100 research terms affiliated with Calit2 UCSD. Clicking on a research keyword allows you to see other researchers who appear to have interest in this area, and you can drill down to contact information and a more detailed list of research strengths for just that individual researcher.
4) Your Customized Research Intelligence Home: For each registered, affiliated researcher we have created a customized Research Intelligence Home. The power of this page is that it matches your research strengths against new federal funding opportunities and creates a listing of new funding customized for you.
