Abstract: The disclosure deals with a system and method for building teams in response to a teaming opportunity. In one exemplary embodiment disclosed herewith, a system and method for building teams for Request for Proposals (RFPs) is described where potential team participants are researchers at one or more institutions. A computer-based method and computer system, given RFPs from funding agencies like NSF, DOE and NASA, recommends a team of experts from various faculties and departments of the organization, like a university, that would best fit the needs of the RFP and have a high chance of putting a successful proposal together. The system generates teams that may match the requirements of an RFP. In addition, the system optimizes the list of teams to maximize winning success and to reduce redundancy. The system input includes RFPs and the researchers' public information. The system output is a list of proposed teams, each team with two or more members. Optionally, each team will have an estimation of the team's budget and proposal success chances. The disclosed methodology is more broadly applicable to team-building opportunities in general.
