New OVPR unit informs, supports U-M research mission with data
OVPR has launched a new unit that will analyze and integrate many types of data to serve, support and strengthen U-M’s research, scholarly and creative enterprise.
The Research Analysis & Data Integration Office (RADIO) already has played a key role in assessing university financial metrics to measure how the research enterprise is recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a decline in spending and productivity. Research spending data recently culled by RADIO demonstrates the university is moving in a positive trajectory.
In his new role as executive director of RADIO, Jason Owen-Smith and his team will continue to partner with university leaders to identify critical challenges and use data to identify potential so lutions. One of those critical challenges involves equity across the research enterprise.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused and exacerbated a multitude of challenges and disparities across the U-M research community, so RADIO is analyzing award, submission and publication data across all three U-M campuses to measure equity across gender, race and discipline.
RADIO also will continue to analyze the university’s vast research portfolio in order to help position the university and its faculty to remain competitive at the frontier of human knowledge, which includes measuring how U-M compares with other peer institutions regarding externally sponsored awards and expenditures.
