Candace Miller

Candace has built a career around planning, reporting, and analytics across government and higher education. She has worked at McGill for seven years and is an experienced research intelligence professional with expertise in research performance measurement and data governance. Her current role, overseeing the institution’s research information and grants management system, has reinforced a lesson familiar to many research administrators: collecting high-quality data is often harder than analyzing it. She has worked extensively with data related to research funding, publications, rankings, intellectual property, partnerships, and administration, with a particular interest in improving data quality, stewardship, and governance practices. She specializes in connecting the dots across disparate data sources to tell a more complete story about the research enterprise, and to help inform institutional initiatives and strategic priorities.
