Ana Espada .....Ana, ....Please try asking your question with Google Scholar at https://scholar.google.com/ I used “typologies of researchers” as my input question. With that I found a number of related articles. In addition I used the same phrase in a regular google search and found numerous articles. - But…. I have no experience in the field you want to study. My guess its the process of awarding grants but maybe its something else. For artcles closer to your actual question - and - for diverse articles and publications I suggest re-write your question without the overly academic terminology. I think the general internet response will improve and the diversity of the responses will greatly improve.

Dear Lee,

Thank you for your answer.

It is indeed a particular mapping that I am searching for, not the researchers but their approach to the pre-awards (eg. brokerage/ pitching type; or Design out-of-the-box thinking type... google scholar didn't like my search)

Meanwhile, I find out that design-persona mapping has some frameworks and reading material

Thanks!

Ana

Ana Espada Ana, I did a search using these terms: "design-persona mapping", "product design persona lifecycle" and "needs empathy map experience design". Both Google and Google Scholar return a list of results. Google starts with “images”. Ignore these and scroll down.

P.S. I hope this helps because I don’t understand much about this field of study.

Personas and user journeys can be used in the science management and pre-award process to better understand the needs and preferences of potential users or stakeholders of a scientific project or research proposal. Here's how:

Personas are fictional representations of potential users, based on research and data analysis. They can be used to understand the needs, goals, behaviors, and preferences of specific groups of users. In science management and pre-award, personas can be used to identify the key stakeholders and decision-makers who are likely to be impacted by the research project or proposal. By understanding these personas, researchers can tailor their proposals to better meet their needs and expectations.

User journeys are a visualization of the steps that a user takes to complete a task or achieve a goal. User journeys can help researchers understand the experience of potential users as they interact with the proposed research project or program. By mapping out the user journey, researchers can identify potential pain points or areas where the user experience can be improved.

Science management and pre-award refer to the process of managing and securing funding for scientific research. Personas and user journeys can be used to inform the development of research proposals and programs that are more likely to be successful in securing funding. By understanding the needs and preferences of potential users and stakeholders, researchers can tailor their proposals to better meet the needs of funding agencies and decision-makers.

Overall, personas and user journeys can help researchers better understand the needs and preferences of potential users and stakeholders in the science management and pre-award process. By using these tools, researchers can develop proposals and programs that are more likely to be successful in securing funding and achieving their scientific objectives.

Te recomiendo establecer tus objetivos de investigación y de esa forma plantear entrevistas con tópico diferentes dentro de los cuales estará los que interesan, hacer una evaluación seria con respecto a las pregunatas
