Topic-based Dashboards

Eight Dashboards select ARC grants based on their Primary FOR and SEO to create specific topics

Sources:

ARC codes include FOR codes for 2020, 2008; RFCD codes for 1998; and SEO codes for 2020, 2008 and 1998

Overlaps

There is a current issue with RFCD codes 1998 duplicating newer codes FOR 2020 with the proposed temporary solution to start Dashboards at the year 2009

A proposed future solutions will separate RFCD codes form FOR codes in Elastic Search.
