Understand your international research networks, efficiently verify disclosures, and scrutinize potential research collaborations

From heads of research to directors of compliance, academic leaders face mounting pressure to safeguard their research and comply with a host of regulations. 

Whether reviewing grant applications and potential PIs, vetting visiting scholars or new hires, or monitoring ongoing awards and collaborations, research security professionals face mounting pressure to demonstrate due diligence in safeguarding research and compliance with a host of regulations,

Without proper compliance, your institution risks penalties, fines, reputational damage, and the loss of stakeholder trust and funding. 

This means it’s crucial to proactively assess your institution’s risks. You need to meticulously verify disclosures and review research collaborations – which is a drain on your time and resources. 

But Dimensions enables you to do these tasks quickly and efficiently. The world’s largest linked research database joins the dots across the whole research landscape from idea to impact – including publications, data sets, awarded grants, patents records, policy documents and much more.

The integrated AI and at-a-glance visualizations make it quick and easy to find the data you need to conduct accurate due diligence checks, assess risk and verify disclosures. 

It’s a powerful way to manage compliance, reduce risk and safeguard your institution’s reputation.
