AbstractObjective -The authors analyzed seven years of sponsored research projects at the University of Illinois Library at Urbana-Champaign with the aim of understanding the research trends and themes over that period. The analysis was aimed at identifying areas of future research potential and corresponding support opportunities. Goals included developing institutional research themes that intersect with funding priorities, demystifying grant writing and project management through professional development programs, increasing communication about grant successes; and bringing new faculty and academic staff into these processes. The review and analysis has proven valuable for the Library's institutional practices, and this assessment may also inform other institutions' initiatives with grant-writing.Methods -The authors performed a combination of quantitative and qualitative analyses of the University Library's grant activities that enabled us to accomplish several goals: 1) establish a baseline of data on funded grants; 2) identify motivations for pursuing grants and the obstacles Evidence Based Library and Information Practice 2015, 10.2 64 that library professionals face in the process; 3) establish a stronger support structure based on feedback gathered, and through collaborations with other groups that support the research process; and 4) identify strategic research themes that leverage local strengths and address institutional priorities.Conclusions -Analysis of Library data on externally funded grants from the University's Proposal Data System provided insight into the trends, themes, and outliers. Informal interviews were carried out with investigators to identify areas where the Library could more effectively support those who were pursuing and administering grants in support of research. The assessment revealed the need for the Library to support grant efforts as an integral component of the research process

In many cases for libraries across the country, cost-cutting strategies were enabled to replace lost income (Cuilliler and Stoffle, 2011).…”
