Is anyone storing project proposals (project bid documentation) in their repository? Our research group want to share their bids with each other to have a library of examples to call on. This is partly to help staff development (how to write a convincing EU FP7 bid) and partly to establish some corporate memory about what we have all been doing! I've configured a private (internal) repository to do this, but I've got no real experience to draw on vis-a-vis the kinds of metadata that are useful to include. Specifically, is it worthwhile to capture the identity of the proposed project team (lead investigators, project manager, research team etc) or is that just wasted effort because the information is never actually used? I'm taking it as read that it is useful to record the actual authors of the bid document. Any experience in this area (on whatever platform) would be gratefully received. -- Les Carr PS This is separate from a CRIS I'm not recording the details of any real research activity. Just the written documentation (case for support, budgets, letters of support, referees comments, responses to referees comments) around something that may eventually turn into an actual project. PPS Nor am I making a covert case for Open Access to this material. Some things should stay between consenting researchers :-)
