Grants Season 5, Round 2 — Data Analysis

Communications 📣 Accountability 🗂️
1

As a grant applicant, I wanted to know where I rank in relation to other similar projects.
Currently the ranking is somewhat opaque and not immediately easy to understand.

You can see this in Reference [4], where the rubric scores were all in one cell.

I did some quick analysis to get the public data that was presented into a shape that was good for data analysis.

Here is link to the cleaned data.

Here is a link to a repo so anyone can reproduce/correct my work.

Here are some quick things we can do now.

Why bother ??

  • Unpack the scoring algorithm to make it more transparent.
  • Surface the rubric data so its suitable for analysis.

Goals

For grant applicants

  • Identify the key factors that influence the ranking.

For Reviewers

  • Clean data for analysis, to further inform the review process.

For the collective

  • Increased transparency for the allocation process.

This was all done super quick so please, treat this lightly and feel free to explore the data.

You should also be able to just drop the raw set into ChatGPT to do some analysis.
