Summary
Research infrastructures (RIs) can adopt international frameworks to monitor and evaluate their performance and impact. Adapting these tools helps national RIs effectively manage their operations and demonstrate value.
Area of Science:
- Life Sciences
- Bioinformatics
- Research Infrastructure Management
Background:
- Sustainability of research infrastructures (RIs) is a critical challenge.
- Effective management tools for monitoring RI performance and impact are essential.
- BioData.pt is the Portuguese node of ELIXIR, a European research infrastructure.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the applicability of international guidelines for assessing RI performance and impact.
- To adapt and adopt these frameworks for the BioData.pt national research infrastructure.
- To demonstrate the utility of these frameworks in supporting RI management.
Main Methods:
- Collected and analyzed performance and impact indicators over four years.
- Utilized international guidelines from ESFRI, OECD, and the RI-PATHS project.
- Adapted assessment frameworks to the national context and specific activities of BioData.pt.
Main Results:
- International frameworks for assessing RI performance and impact can be adopted by national RIs.
- Adaptations are necessary to reflect national specificities and activities.
- These adapted frameworks serve as powerful tools for RI management.
Conclusions:
- National research infrastructures can successfully implement and adapt international assessment frameworks.
- Tailored performance and impact monitoring enhances RI management and sustainability.
- The study provides a model for other national RIs seeking to improve their evaluation processes.

01:28Global Regulatory Systems
67
Global regulatory systems in bacteria enable rapid and coordinated responses to environmental changes by integrating sensory inputs with gene expression, ensuring efficient adaptation to fluctuating conditions. Key global regulatory mechanisms include regulons, two-component systems, sigma factors, and secondary messengers.Regulons and Global RegulatorsA regulon is a collection of genes and operons controlled by a common global regulator. These regulators enable bacteria to prioritize resource...

01:30Types of Impact
637
Impacts can be classified in various forms, primarily under two subgroups: central impact and oblique impact. A central impact occurs when two objects collide head-on, possessing opposite velocities aligned along the line of impact. Conversely, an oblique impact occurs when two objects collide at an angle, resulting in a modification of both direction and velocity.

89
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...

01:21Development of Analytical Methods
671
An analytical methodology can be divided into four sequential steps: technique, method, procedure, and protocol. A technique is a scientific principle that rationalizes a specific phenomenon through chemical measurements. Adapting a technique for analyzing a sample of interest is termed a method. The procedure outlines the directions for performing the analysis via an analytical method. The protocol is the detailed guidelines on the procedure, which should be strictly followed to obtain the...
