For funders & agencies

Build fairer assessment systems with contextual evidence

ONE helps funders, agencies, and policy actors connect researcher-level evidence with institutional and system-level intelligence for more contextual, transparent, and responsible assessment.

Contextual evidence

A contextual evidence layer for funding ecosystems

Support reviewer discovery, programme monitoring, and responsible assessment workflows with structured evidence.

Funder and agency problem

Funders and agencies need evidence systems that reflect the diversity of research activity.

Funding decisions, reviewer selection, programme monitoring, and assessment reform require evidence that is transparent, contextual, and multidimensional.

Traditional data sources are often strong on publications and citations, but weaker on mentoring, peer review, leadership, open science, societal engagement, competences, and other contributions relevant to responsible assessment.

What ONE provides

A contextual evidence layer for funding ecosystems

ONE structures research evidence across indicators, dimensions, cohorts, profiles, competences, roles, and geographical entities.

This can support reviewer discovery, programme monitoring, responsible assessment pilots, and evidence reuse across application and reporting workflows.

Funder and agency use cases

How funders and agencies can use ONE

Reviewer discovery

Identify potential reviewers using contextual evidence, expertise signals, roles, and contribution profiles.

Programme monitoring

Monitor research activity across outputs, collaboration, open science, societal engagement, and other structured signals.

Responsible assessment pilots

Test multidimensional and contextual assessment approaches with selected programmes or communities.

Evidence reuse

Reduce repeated reporting by helping researchers maintain reusable evidence records.

Landscape analysis

Explore research evidence across territories, institutions, fields, and cohorts.

Alignment with responsible assessment

Designed to support assessment reform

ONE is designed to support assessment approaches that are contextual, transparent, and multidimensional.

The platform avoids treating journal-level proxies as the basis for assessment and supports interpretation across fields, career stages, and contribution types.

We are interested in pilot collaborations with funders and institutions that are experimenting with contextual and multidimensional research assessment.
