UCSF Profiles and Salesforce Chatter at UCSF: the perfect complementary tools. Here’s the answer to: Why aren’t these 2 systems already integrated?

Created by Leslie Yuan on July 31, 2012 - 8:56am.
Last revised by Web Producer on August 10, 2012 - 11:47am.
Proposal Status:   Awarded

Project Description:

Have you ever found a group of experts on UCSF Profiles that you wanted to bring into a conversation, but didn’t want to inundate with long email threads?  Have you ever found someone on UCSF Profiles who is doing work on a topic of interest and you wish you could “follow” them so you’d be notified automatically of any new publications they put out?

A Lab Exchange Drupal Module for UCSF

Created by Thomas Mcmanus on July 27, 2012 - 10:30pm.
Last revised by Web Producer on August 10, 2012 - 11:45am.
Proposal Status:   Awarded

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT. Managing unique scientific research materials is a problem faced by almost all labs at UCSF.  In addition, sharing between labs is difficult since there is no common inventory system, or method of keeping potential collaborators up to date on the materials available among UCSF labs. Here we describe an easy solution for sharing lab resources among collaborating labs and larger networks.  In short, we will build a Drupal module that will allow scientists to communicate their sharable reagents.

Disseminating UCSF research & connecting with disease communities via social media automation

Created by Anirvan Chatterjee on July 27, 2012 - 10:57am.
Last revised by Web Producer on August 10, 2012 - 11:44am.
Proposal Status:   Awarded

Synopsis: Develop a suite of datafeed-driven disease-specific UCSF Twitter feeds (e.g. @UCSFDiabetes) to promote and disseminate UCSF disease-specific research more widely and engage thousands of members of disease communities (patients, family members, students, funders, health care providers, policymakers). Apply social media outreach best practices to extend reach. Project builds on a successful demo, and is designed to be potentially scalable to dozens, perhaps hundreds, of disease areas, to support existing campus communications work in disease-specific communities.

Employee On-boarding - HR and IT Partner Initiative

Created by Pranathi Sundaram on July 27, 2012 - 6:25am.
Last revised by Web Producer on August 10, 2012 - 11:46am.
Proposal Status:   Awarded

Goal: Streamline employee on-boarding process by establishing seamless and automated communication to IT support units within minutes of when new employee data has been entered into the HR OLPPS system. This is to enable quick turn around for providing access to UCSF and departmental IT resources. The aim is also to enable notification for when an employee is departing from the University so IT staff are able to proactively engage in following exit procedures such as recovering equipment, securing data and obtaining the signed Electronic Information Consent form.

Where's the Shuttle

Created by Richard Tabor on August 3, 2012 - 9:30pm.
Last revised by Open Proposals Admin on August 10, 2012 - 1:02pm.
Proposal Status:   Review Complete

While there are apps to show the shuttle schedule and maps to show where a few
of the shuttles are on maps, there is no useful resource that allows someone
waiting in front of a shuttle stop to really know when the next shuttle will
come or will come at all (just kidding).

Current technology has proven that this is a solvable problem and this app
will allow thousands of shuttle users to gain extra time and not have to
wait for the shuttle and even more importantly, not miss an early shuttle.

Mouse - Mouse Room Data Collection App

Created by Richard Tabor on August 3, 2012 - 8:10pm.
Last revised by Open Proposals Admin on August 10, 2012 - 1:02pm.
Proposal Status:   Review Complete

UCSF has a very large population of mice and many hours are spent by
research groups tracking their colonies. Currently, mouse room data
is collected in a variety of ways (by paper, having to use a computer
that is across the room, laptops) none of which is very efficient.

While their is a need for an enterprise solution to mouse room
management, allowing users to use their cellphones, ipod touches,
ipads, etc. to capture the data into a database directly will help
with this front end process.
