Sample Project Overview Statement
Project Overview Statement:
Problem/Opportunity:
Endnote is a powerful bibliographic software program; a large percentage of faculty, staff, and students use Endnote software to write scholarly papers, manuscripts, grant proposals, and abstracts. The program is also used as an on-line research repository of published work. Currently, there are one thousand licenses consisting of four different incompatible versions of Endnote in use within the organization.
Goal:
• Designate a software specialist to upgrade all current Endnote licenses to version nine by July 1, 2003 using Active Directory’s software organization unit to manage distribution.
Objectives:
• Ensure software compatibility within the organization researchers, faculty, support staff, and students.
• Enhance research collaboration. • Increase the number of published works and grants submitted.
• Introduce students to research writing and proper citation practices prior to graduation.
• Create a shared Endnote data library based on various research topics.
Success Outcomes:
• Faculty and staff will develop sharable Endnote libraries, which would be accessible on the Intranet.
• Funding levels will increase as the number of faculty using Endnote publish and write grant proposals.
• The number of student publication submissions increase, preparing them for research, enhances their educational experience, and prepares graduates to enter the field as a polished professional.
• Student grades improve based on the application and use of formatting style (APA) a strict requirement for all courses.
• The number of graduate, fellows, doctoral, and postdoctoral students obtaining grant funding through collaborative research with faculty increase as students gain access to the same technology faculty use.
• All students graduate with Endnote hands-on experience, preparing them to teach, publish, conduct research, and write grant proposals.
