Identifying the initial need

• We all start from the same place: a leader wants an answer to a question that requires data

• Examples:

• # of proposals and awards -by PI/Department/College • Success rate of submitted proposals -"win rate"

• What are your examples?

Where to start?

• What do you already have? Are you collecting the data in some fashion?

• What kinds of reports already exist at your institution?

• What does your institution need, and do you have influence in defining that?
