Accountability

How this use case is governed

Service owner
TritonAI solutions team and prospective research-service partners
Human oversight
Researchers and research administrators validate relevance and decide whether to act.
Measurement plan
Relevant opportunities surfaced, false matches, follow-through, and researcher usefulness.
Data boundary
Public description; any profile integration requires source-specific approval

  • PubMed
  • ORCID
  • Semantic Scholar

How it works

How the workflow fits

The problem it addresses, what it actually does, and how far along it is.

Problem

Researchers and their support teams have to watch a lot of funding and publication sources that keep changing. Keyword matching either misses the relevant ones or buries them in noise.

Solution

The prototype explores how to parse the requirements of an opportunity and identify researchers whose publications, grants, and methods may be relevant. Candidate sources under evaluation include approved campus profile data and public academic sources such as NIH RePORTER, NSF Awards, PubMed, ORCID, and Semantic Scholar. The design goal is to explain why each suggestion appeared and link back to an authoritative source.

Current status

In development. We are still working out the data sources, consent, how often it refreshes, how to evaluate it, and who will own it before this becomes a pilot. A match is not an endorsement, and nobody should act on one without a researcher and a research administrator looking at it.
