In a continuing effort to enhance the services available to our campus research community, the Office of the Vice President for Research and Department of Information Technology are pleased to announce a new web-based database system that is available to the Stony Brook University (SBU) community.  The purpose of this system is to identify and record the research interests and expertise of SBU’s researchers, and for delivery of available funding opportunities.

We hope that this system will help researchers and research departments locate and successfully compete for more external funding, and more importantly, that it will help form new multidisciplinary collaborations on campus.

Some main features of our databases are:

• SBU-wide access to individualized profiles for every researcher on campus
• Several views and searching options to meet multiple needs -- including identification of possible collaborators, and for university administrators seeking faculty with topical interests/expertise
• Funding opportunities collected each week from a variety of sources are added into the database, assigning to each a selection of disciplines and keywords
• Automated weekly emails based on keyword matches to researcher profiles are delivered to faculty/researchers, providing the critical elements and a link to the official opportunity
• Names, email addresses and phone numbers of all other faculty/researchers for whom the keywords matched the opportunity record, with the ability to click on their profiles
• Weekly on-line funding bulletins available to everyone on campus
• Several additional views and searching/sorting options to meet researcher, departmental, and university administrative needs

It’s important that each faculty member / researcher complete a profile in order to fully benefit from this service.  If you are a faculty member or researcher, please take a few minutes to complete or update your record, explore the features of the system, and feel free to provide our office with feedback.
