This repository contains the R Consortium ISC grant proposal for R4SUB: Submission Readiness Scoring. A Standardized Evidence Schema and Scoring Framework for Multi-Indicator Readiness Assessment in R.
Project team: Pawan Rama Mali (Project Lead, R4SUB) · Aishwarya Amonkar (Co-Lead, Techworkslab)
R4SUB provides standardized R infrastructure for systematic evidence scoring against indicator profiles. Six packages are already on CRAN; this proposal funds three milestones to elevate the project from "functional prototype" to "validated, interoperable infrastructure":
| Milestone | Outcome | Funding (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| M1, Schema Standardization | JSON Schema spec + validator + developer guide | $3,500 |
| M2, Empirical Validation | Statistical validation against 20+ real outcome cases | $6,000 |
| M3, Ecosystem Bridges | pharmaverse integration + cross-domain example | $3,000 |
| Total | $12,500 |
Period: July to December 2026 Cycle: R Consortium ISC 2026-1 (deadline May 1, 2026)
