Research Office

Our tailored solutions unify funding pipelines, faculty achievements, and peer benchmarks, empowering you to prioritize investments, accelerate collaboration, and demonstrate institutional impact in an increasingly competitive landscape.  

For Research Offices, peer benchmarking is not a nice-to-have, it’s a growth lever. Universities that benchmark regularly see a 15–20% improvement in targeted academic hiring and resource allocation over five years, converting limited budgets into strategic advantage. With clear, comparative insights, you can direct hires to high-potential areas, shift funds to programs with the greatest marginal impact, and build evidence-based cases for deans and boards so you can accelerate progress on your institution’s research priorities.

Faculty Affairs Leaders

Institutions that use analytics to align nominations with faculty strengths see up to a 25% increase in external awards and recognitions, lifting visibility, credibility, and morale.  

For Faculty Affairs leaders, that means building a scalable, equitable recognition pipeline that improves retention and showcases excellence across disciplines. With clear insight into who is award-ready and which honors fit their profiles, you can time nominations strategically, track outcomes by discipline and demographic, and close recognition gaps, turning accolades into sustained career growth and institutional reputation.

Medical School Leaders

Unify faculty and departmental research intelligence, benchmark performance against true peers, and surface collaboration pathways that empower you to prioritize your investments, grow foundation funding, accelerate translational impact, recruit and retain top clinician–scientists, and elevate your school’s clinical and academic reputation with measurable results.

At this scale, academic data and analytics are essential to lead with precision. Benchmarking departments against true peers, spotting emerging strengths and underfunded opportunities, aligning hiring and infrastructure with grant potential, optimizing award nominations, and mapping collaborations that accelerate discovery. The payoff is faster, smarter decisions that elevate research excellence, strengthen reputation, and convert limited resources into measurable impact for patients, communities, and the institution.
