Hi all, So, here in UCL Research IT, we’ve got a growing pipeline of future research programming collaborations, both free and paid, both research council funded and paid consulting, and both already won and waiting for peer review.
Our ability to manage all of this is scaling beyond simple spreadsheets… I feel that we ought to be using our data-science-fu to help on the management side here... Does anyone on this list have any advice about tooling that can be used to model a pipeline of research grants and consulting projects? Ideally, with probabilistic modelling of expected and upper and lower bound future grant income following assignment of probabilities of success to proposals, and similar modelling of staff availability, recruitment delays etc… Ideally either a FOSS solution I can install or a subscription cloud-based service. I want to avoid anything with either a very "Enterprise IT” or an old-style public sector IT feel! I’m aware that there are quite a lot of people interested in collaborative research support and Team Science on this list, and setting up data science/research software institutes etc, so others here have probably encountered the same problem. Happy to take this topic by direct mail off-list as it’s skirting the edge of on-topic-ness.
