What’s Inside the Knowledge Transfer Partnerships Dashboard in Power BI
1. Overview Page
The Overview Page gives a high-level view of the KTP portfolio. The top cards show Total Projects, Total Budget, Total Actual Spend, and Total Grant Funding so leaders can understand portfolio scale, approved investment, delivered spend, and grant-backed support at a glance.
Total Grant Funding by University Partner: This chart compares grant funding across university partners. It helps program teams see which academic partners are connected with the highest funding value.
Funding Leverage by Overall Projects: This visual links leverage with the wider project base. It helps decision-makers assess whether project volume is translating into strong funding leverage.
Innovation Outputs by Region: This chart shows where outputs are being generated geographically. It supports regional impact reporting and highlights locations with stronger innovation delivery.
Total Budget and Total Actual Spend by Sector: This comparison shows budget and spend by sector. It helps finance and program teams identify sectors where actual spend is tracking above or below planned funding.
2. Funding
The Funding page focuses on how money is allocated, leveraged, and used across stages, regions, years, and priorities. Milestone Completion by Project Stage shows delivery progress by stage, helping managers understand where projects are moving smoothly or slowing down.
Funding Leverage by Region compares leverage across operating regions. Total Grant Funding by Year shows how grant support changes over time, while Total Budget and Total Actual Spend by Priority helps teams review whether strategic priorities are receiving and using the right level of investment.

Who This Template Is For – and Who It’s Not For
This template is for KTP managers, university partnership teams, innovation offices, business engagement teams, grant administrators, research commercialization teams, PMO analysts, and consultants who need a ready Power BI reporting structure for partnership performance. It works best when your data is already structured by project, partner, region, sector, stage, priority, budget, spend, grant funding, milestone status, innovation outputs, and jobs created.
It is not a grant application portal, CRM, accounting system, contract management system, or automated research impact tool. Use it as an analytics and reporting dashboard after your source data has been prepared.
