ILLUSTRATIVE APPLICATION

Universities and research

Institutions whose core asset is knowledge and expertise.

01 · THE PROBLEM OR DECISION

Interdisciplinary projects and funding bids draw on expertise spread across departments, and much of what is learned leaves when a project ends.

02 · WHO WOULD USE HOW

Principal investigators, research development and professional services staff, and external partners, working from funding calls, previous bids, institutional policies and expertise profiles.

03 · HOW HOW COULD SUPPORT THE WORK

Bring researchers, professional services and external partners together to shape interdisciplinary projects, assess funding opportunities and plan knowledge exchange. Help teams combine evidence and expertise, agree contributions and retain learning as projects finish and people move on.

04 · OUTCOMES YOU COULD EVALUATE
  • Time to assemble a project team
  • Quality of bid preparation, as judged internally
  • Learning retained from completed projects
  • Participation across departments

Illustrative application. Learning from completed projects stays available to the institution only where its owners choose to publish it.
