Searching for Profiles

Pivot-RP offers both basic and advanced text search for profiles.

In the results, you can view specific profiles or select multiple profiles to perform actions on them in bulk. See Viewing Profiles.

Basic Text Search

To perform a basic text search, use either of the following search areas:

The Profiles tab on the search box in the main menu of your My Funding Opportunities lists.

Search the Profiles in Main Menu
The search box at the top of the Profiles page (Profiles).

Search on the Profiles Page

Tips:

Each word is looked for independently. So a search for baseball football returns items that match both words anywhere in the item. This is the same as searching for baseball AND football.
Do not use the articles a, an, or the.
Searches are case insensitive.
With the exception of the hyphen, do not use punctuation marks (slashes, commas, and so forth). Punctuation marks may return erroneous results. This also applies to monetary amounts: leave out any commas or periods: use 10000 instead of $10,000.
Use double quotes to search for an exact phrase. "baseball football" returns only items with those two words in sequence.
baseball OR football returns items with either or both words.
baseball NOT football returns items containing baseball but not containing football.
bas* returns items with words that start with bas, such as baseball and basket.
(gene w/2 mouse) OR "mouse genome" returns items that have the word gene within two words of the word mouse or that contain the exact phrase mouse genome.

Advanced Text Search

On the Profiles page, select Advanced Search. The Funding Advanced Search page appears.

    You can also upload a file that contains these links.
  - In ORCID, connect your Pivot-RP profile to your ORCID profile (or create an ORCID profile and then link your Pivot-RP profile to it).It is recommended that you link it to your Pivot-RP profile. This ensures that your Pivot-RP profile is updated and current with your ORCID profile. In addition, this connection can be used to eliminate duplicate citations from your profile. When you ask Pivot-RP to associate your ORCID ID with your profile, you are directed to the ORCID website. You then log in to your ORCID profile, after which you authorize the connection between your ORCID profile and Pivot-RP.

Select if this is a current affiliation. When you are done, select Add.
    If you have more than one affiliation listed, select Order and drag and drop the organizations so as to order them as required.
  - In Education, enter the places that you went to school and the degrees that you earned. For each entry, enter the institution name (or select it from the drop-down list after you have entered a partial match) and degree (or select it from the drop-down list after you have entered a partial match), select the year that you received the degree, enter the field of study, and select Add.
