Design, develop, and maintain dynamic PowerBI dashboards tailored to the evolving needs of senior leadership, faculty, and research units. Respond to data and ad hoc information request from the McGill research community including the VPRI, Faculty Associate Deans of Research, and research groups often requiring a needs assessment to interpret information requirements.
Collect, analyze, and report competition statistics related to research funding programs, including application volumes, success rates, and comparative performance across units and institutions.
