Specific Steps NeededSpecific Steps Needed
• Obtain a composite view of the “external” data needed by ICs for their business processes – Identify the IMPAC II data extramural (OLTP
and IRDB) that’s being downloaded by each IC and determine how it is used
– Identify other data sources required
Specific Steps Needed (Continued)Specific Steps Needed (Continued)
• Determine the local (i.e., IC-specific) data needed by each IC for their extramural business processes– Identify grant coding/indexing data and
techniques used by each IC– Identify other IC-specific data needed
Overall PlanOverall Plan
• Develop database structure for storage of IC-specific data
• Upload IC-specific data for pilot test ICs into central database
• Copy necessary IMPAC data into central database• Direct QVR functionality to access IC-Specific
data for pilot test ICs• Expand system to other ICs• Develop data input functionality for IC requiring
this capability

The Goal
IMPAC II - IRDBIMPAC II - OLTP
eRA Suite of Applications(GM, ICO, Review, etc.)
Selected IMPAC IIData Plus
IC-specific Data
IC #5 IC #6IC #4IC #3IC #2IC #1Institutes willcontinue using the eRA suite
of applicationsas usual
Institutes willload data into
a central database
Only a single download to the Central database from the OLTP
and IRDB will be needed

Mockup of IC-Specific Data ScreensMockup of IC-Specific Data Screens
System would offer an IC-Specific Search Screen
The screen would be customized to the needsof each IC or Office using the system
The user could specify whether the search was to be conducted on current IMPAC data or FROZEN data
The system would offer the full utility of the QVR system including data download to a spreadsheet and the
Standard Reports

System Design ParametersSystem Design Parameters
• The user could search on IC-specific data as well as IMPAC II data.
• The user could generate reports based on IC-specific data as well as IMPAC II data
• The user could define whether the reports would use Frozen data or Dynamic IMPAC II data
Important findings so farImportant findings so far
• Each IC downloads a large number of data items from IMPAC II relating to their IC
• Only a small subset of these data items need to be frozen
