Details

In order to grow the research enterprise of MacEwan University, it is important to build an ecosystem that supports the development of research programs through research grant funding. A major challenge is to connect researchers with appropriate funding opportunities and build synergy with collaborators. Currently there is no central database for researcher interests and expertise and this information is drawn from several sources including professional websites, social media, and the MacEwan expert guide on an ad hoc basis. The goal for this project is to review the research landscape from various sources including those listed here and capture the information in a searchable database. Phase 1, now completed, collected and collated data. Phase 2 will focus on testing , validating and revising the databank based on end user feedback.

Deliverables
  1. Determine the best search parameters for the database
  2. Organize the database according to #1
  3. Test the database by end users
  4. Receive end user feedback and revise the database accordingly
Mentorship
  1. Students will be provided with mentoring and advice on search parameters
  2. Students will be provided with feedback on end user experience
  3. Database will be validated and updated as appropriate
