TableauA series of RAAC Metrics Tableau visualizations were first published in June 2017 with the intention to help schools/colleges/units/departments explore trends in their research administration data. The visualizations are accessed via Wolverine Access and contain valuable information related to Proposals, the ORSP Deadline Policy, Success Rates, Awards, Budget Period Funding, Expenditures, and Receivables.

Business ObjectsThere are two collections of reports you may want to access in Business Objects. UM-Maintained: This is a collection of reports formally maintained by the ORSP Data and Reporting team. Some examples are: Proposals, Awards, Other Reports. [ See image]
Unit-Maintained: This is a collection of community reports from research administrators across U-M, an effort to informally share useful reports beyond the formal reports found in UM-Maintained. RAAC Metrics welcomes suggestions to this collection as research administrators have reports they feel worth sharing with colleagues across campus.
