Course:Emory Business Intelligence, Pt. 2

Description: This follow-up Tech Tip will show you how to use the EBI awards analysis reports more effectively and efficiently.  EBI, you ask again? Yes, still EBI! As shown in our last Tech Tip, it pulls data from the Emory Data Warehouse (EDW), which is research administration’s single source of truth. That means the data and reports available have been validated much more than for any other system or platform.  You will see how we use the awards analysis report to answer questions from leadership and others, including from you and your colleagues. Again, some of this you might be aware of, but perhaps not some of the modification options we will show you.  This includes details on awards data and statistics, as well as how to roll up the data in different ways to answer questions you, your managers, or your PIs might have. Plus, we will be having some fun again while we do it! Yes, EBI and fun. We know it’s EBI…, but seriously we will. This Tech Tip is the follow-up to the proposal analysis report Tech Tip in November.  We will focus on awards analysis reports only! This is due to the limited time available as well as providing more in-depth coverage.  We will focus on expenditures, IACUC, IRB, Tableau and/or other tools in forthcoming Tech Tips in 2025.
