Slides: Internal review of DFG LIS grant proposal

Header Slide

These are the slides for an internal presentation at the IOER. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the current draft of our DFG LIS grant proposal with colleagues and collect feedback before finalization.

The proposal aims to fund a nationwide research infrastructure, a German geo-social information system, to curate and abstract opportunistic data. The presentation covers the general funding goals, the technical privacy abstraction using HyperLogLog, and clarifies the project boundaries. A central point was delineating the DFG validation use case, social cohesion, from parallel institute goals like measuring transformative capacity.

Process notes

I used an LLM to help structure the presentation and translate my notes into RevealJS markdown format. This saved time, especially when migrating older, heavily customized HTML/CSS code from a 2020 presentation into modern RevealJS r-stack layouts for the technical slides.

  • Validated by SOEP/Survey                      • Planning intervention
  • Field Surveys (5-7 cities)                    • Handled internally
  • (Led by Odile & Jan)                          • (Outside DFG Grant)

To manage expectations regarding the project scope, I used a text-based tree diagram. It visually separates the core infrastructure and the DFG-specific test case from other internal IOER mandates. The LLM was useful for adjusting the layout and CSS of this ASCII diagram so it centered correctly on the slide without conflicting with the corporate design headers.
