Symposium on Tools for R&D Decision Making

Webinar Series on Portfolio Analytics – Tools for R&D Decision Making
Federal R&D agencies need effective tools for analysis of past investments and for placement of future investments. Such tools are often covered under the umbrella of “portfolio analytics.” This webinar series will feature needs, strategies, and tools used by several federal agencies to assess the impacts and results of past R&D investments; to identify trends and potential areas of collaboration; and to support strategic decision making for long-term funding requests. A perspective from academia will also be provided. Presenters will demonstrate the types of data needed for effective tools and examples of the questions being answered by these tools.
