The Office of the Provost and the Office of Research have partnered to provide those conducting research and creative works at ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½ a new resource β the Scholar Expertise Portal.
The portal allows faculty and students to see what kind of research and creative works their fellow colleagues are working on. You can search by individual faculty name or by topic.
βThe true power of this portal comes for the ability to search topics or themes,β says Elizabeth Klonoff, vice president for Research. βWe hope faculty and students will use it to find potential collaborators and synergies across disciplines to enhance research capacity. This is one of the tools we can use to help build interdisciplinary teams to tackle challenges that donβt lend themselves to one-discipline solutions.β
Jana Jasinski, vice provost for Faculty Excellence, says the portal aligns with President Alexander N. Cartwrightβs vision of becoming the worldβs leading public metropolitan research university.
βAt ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½ we recruit top scholars and researchers, and this is one way of showing our community the impact of what our faculty do,β says Jasinski. βThis portal also provides an easy place to access their accomplishments for award and grant applications.β
The portal also gives users a quick snapshot of ΒιΆΉΣ³»΄«Γ½βs overall research related numbers. Other data reported:
- Books published
- Conference proceedings
- Book chapters
- Clinical trials
- Select awards
- Patents
The academic information comes from daily web crawls generated by the vendor β Academic Analytics. The information will update every seven days.
