Add the ability to tag/select areas for event requests #749

Open shoaibsufi opened 10 months ago

shoaibsufi commented 10 months ago

In the preparation for SSI4 it was discovered that knowing which areas a funding request was related to would be very useful to show how the Fellowship activities we supported server the communities of various funders (esp. those that fund us).

This does need some discussion about how to implement but an initial idea is to add this information to the event request - https://fellows.software.ac.uk/request/?claimant_id= where individuals can choose domains or communities - perhaps after the 'focus' question.

From Neils comment in Slack on the 20th Dec:

To clarify, the use of the research council categories isn’t to highlight work done for a specific UK research council, it’s to highlight work done for a discipline / domain that would fall under that funders scope. So if a workshop was organised  by a fellow in the medical sciences, but happened to be funded by CZI or Wellcome, we’d tag it as MRC for now. .... So in terms of picking highlights - it’s the best examples for each funder remit area, that showcase why doing the Fellowship has such a large, and broad, impact and positive outcomes.

Funder remit areas:

AHRC - https://www.ukri.org/councils/ahrc/remit-programmes-and-priorities/ BBSRC - https://www.ukri.org/councils/bbsrc/remit-programmes-and-priorities/ ESRC - https://www.ukri.org/councils/esrc/remit-portfolio-and-priorities/ EPSRC - https://www.ukri.org/councils/epsrc/remit-programmes-and-priorities/ MRC - https://www.ukri.org/councils/mrc/remit-programmes-and-priorities/ NERC - https://www.ukri.org/councils/nerc/remit-programmes-and-priorities/ STFC - https://www.ukri.org/councils/stfc/remit-portfolio-and-priorities/

Optionally it might be worth including the following:

Research England - https://www.ukri.org/councils/research-england/how-research-england-funding-works/ (needs more investigation) Innovate UK (?) - https://www.ukri.org/what-we-do/browse-our-areas-of-investment-and-support/?category=innovate-uk (needs more investigation - no as clear as the above 8)

We should also think about cross cutting areas which might not be covered by the above (in some cases they are):

e.g Community development, best practice, reproducible research and others

We need a not too large list of areas and cross-cutting concerns and how they map onto different funders who fund us - will be worth passing such a list by Neil and Simon for comment before we integrate it into lowFAT
