R Documentation

PGRT - Program Grant Reporting Tool. NIH Program Grants (e.g., U54, SPORE, etc) often involve the tracking and reporting of scientific outcomes from the research. This involves outcomes such as number of grant submissions, number of papers published, and other types of metrics. This type of information is very helpful for understanding the productivity of the program, however it can be rather cumbersome to collect, organize and report. The PGOR solution is a two-fold approach: data is collected through a series of REDCap forms and reported through an R library (pgor). This combination allows for distributed data collection (e.g., all investigators can update their own grant records) and automated, reproducible reporting (through R/markdown).

Description

The pgrt library is a package for loading REDCap outcomes data, processing and filtering this data, and finally reporting this data in various summaries and tables. Underlying this entire process is the concept of an over-arching program grant (pg) that partially funds these activities and supports infrastructure to accomplish the program aims.

Details

Briefly, a REDCap server is used to collect and curate the raw data on submitted/funded grants, as well as publications. This library is then used to extract the data from the REDCap server and turn it into reports, tables and other reportables.

GRANTS Most of the current functionality is in grant submissions and funded grants. Key to this package is the grants table. It is a tibble (tidyverse) that contains grants, one line per grant. There are a number of different columns useful for sorting/filtering, and each one has an embedded tibble representing investigators.
