# Managing Researchers

From the Admin Dashboard "Researchers" tab, grant administrators can click on a researcher to manage their profile and research interests.

### Overview

The first page after selecting a researcher is the Overview page, where recent activity is shown. Key usage metrics are shown at the top, in addition to research interest areas, recent grant acitivity, and any "Favorited Grants" that will be due soon.

### Research Interests

Administrators can select the "Research Interests" tab to add keywords, sentences, or entire abstracts to a researcher'. Research interests are initially set up automatically based on a researcher's publication record.
