5. WHY STAR METRICS? • Presidential Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government (Jan 21, 2009) • Office of Management and Budget Memorandum Open Government Directive (Dec 8, 2009) • “…agencies should publish information online in an open format that can be retrieved, downloaded, and searched.” • “…agencies should proactively use modern technology to disseminate useful information.”

8. SM GOALS • Level 1: Document the levels and trends in the scientific workforce supported by federal funding. • Level 2: Develop an open automated data infrastructure and tools that will enable the documentation and analysis of a subset of the inputs, outputs, and outcomesresulting from federal investments in science.

9. Level I Quarterly Data Submissions STAR METRICS Research Institution Jobs Report

10. Level I Enrollment

11. LEVEL I • Intermediate Goals • Statistical study to guide enrollment • Evaluating data quality • Evaluating job estimate calculations • Developing a data policy • Solicit participation of minority serving institutions

12. LEVEL I (cont’d) • Long-Term Goal 1: Increase participation • Establish and attain targets for the collection of workforce data for federally funded extramural research based on the outcomes from the statistical study • Develop an approach for including workforce data on federally funded intramural research • Work with partner organizations such as the FDP, AAU, APLU, and AAMC • Long-Term Goal 2: Finalize workforce report and extend the usability of the data collected

13. Level II Trans-agency Database of Research Projects

14. Roadmap for Level II • Policy level agreement on projects database • Technical implementation plan • Proof of concept pilot • Testing and refinement • More testing and refinement • Production

15. Level II Concepts • A database of federally funded research • Make data available to federal agencies and other interested groups • EPA, NIH, NSF, and USDA will contribute information to a proof-of-concept database. • NIH will collect data from the four agencies and create and manage the database

16. Level II Downstream • More research outputs • Publications • Patents • Links to researcher profiles, e.g. SciENCV • Enabling • Metrics development • Cross Agency Analysis • Benchmarking research institutions

17. Ongoing Activities • Level I • Statistical Study • Level II • Design • Pilot Data Policy

24. Science Experts Network and Curriculum Vitae Project Status Update NCURA November, 2012 Walter Schaffer

25. Brief Background • “Why do I have to keep reentering the same data into federal grant systems?” • “Why does each separate federal grants system have its own format requirements for bio-sketches?” • “Why can’t the federal grant-related reporting requirements use the same data that I’ve already entered into a federal system?” • “I already maintain my profile data in my system of choice. Why can’t I simply point to that as a source of information for my CV?” • “The administrative burden is far too large when dealing with the government.”

26. Enter… SciENCV Co-chaired by NSF and NIH. Six agencies (DOD, DOE, EPA, NIH, NSF, USDA) currently working together to “make it happen”. Working with the Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP) to ensure that the system meets the goal of reducing the administrative burden on those involved in research who interact with the federal government.
