Design of a Platform for the Integrated Project Application Process

It is thought efforts for enhancing R&D management are very important for improving the efficiency of national R&D. Specialized institutions in each ministry of Korea have built and operated their own R&D management system for applying, receiving and managing R&D projects. In this reason researchers should visit the project application system of each relevant ministry to apply a project. Also different application documents should be submitted to specialized institutions of each ministry. This study also aims to build a portal service which can be jointly used by all ministries for the purpose of convenient project application. To do this we designed a portal service for linking seamlessly from project notice to project application, and identified nine constraints (e.g., legal constraints, process-related constraints, systematic constraints) which can affect the design of service. Also we identified stakeholders by whom these constraints can be resolved. Our results can be used to design or implement integrated services through linking individual services in R&D management system
