Users who have been provided access to reports and dashboards will sign in with their eRaider username and password.

Our teams will be offering individual and group overviews and trainings, to help understand which metrics and data are available and where those metrics are located.

All research data contained within the Office of Research and Innovation (OR&I) dashboards and reports are intended for internal use only. No data reported on dashboards or reports should necessarily be considered final, nor is it recommended to be reported on externally.  Data is considered final and verified after the second closing fiscal period occurring approximately two weeks after the official end of a fiscal year. It is recommended that official data that is to be shared externally, should be validated and communicated with administration within the OR&I division.

It is encouraged that internal use of the data (for use in making decisions, evaluating faculty, or to inform departments and colleges on trends) should be carefully reviewed and interpreted on a holistic approach, as individual metrics could possibly represent one part of the productivity and output of that entity.

OR&I incorporates the use of the PowerBI platform, Cognos reporting, and Academic Analytics software. Additionally, custom reports can be requested and received via email or other preferred formats.

A data glossary of dashboards and the information residing within the dashboards will be available on the landing page.

While many of these dashboards are functional, others are under development and testing, with release dates planned in the near future.
