DALLAS — A “keyword the
saurus” being developed by a re
searcher at the University of
Texas at Dallas will ease the ex
pense and improve the efficien
cy of matching university prog
rams with externally—funded
research projects.
John Rodman, director of
UTD’s Office of Sponsored Pro
jects, said the thesaurus will
offer listings of research fields
and their subdivisions rather
than lists of synonyms and
antonyms like an ordinary the-
“Proposal development and
submission, as well as proposal
review by the agency, is an ex
pensive process,” Rodman said.
“The concern of both the gov
ernment and the universities is
to see that the right people get
the right information on each
announcement.”
Considering the expense of
the research funding process
and the paperwork involved,
Rodman said government-wide
use of the keywording process
could offer substantial benefits.
Research administrators
annually spend more than $3
million and long hours to search
through the funding opportuni
ties for faculty members and re
searchers, he said.
“A standard government
wide thesaurus, with program
officers keywording announce
ments, would result in an enor
mous saving of time and money
for the universities,” he said.
“Appropriate faculty would be
informed of research opportu
nities much more quickly and
accurately than under the pre
sent system.
