Expertise Finder
Esploro is capable of being an Expert Finder but limited to subject matter expertise gleaned from your Research Topics. What about an entire area for Expertise in the profile? The idea would be to list things you consider yourself an expert in (using the same taxomonies already available or free text) and offer toggles for :
-willing to be contacted about
-willing to mentor
-willing to assist in an emergency
-willing to serve on a committee
etc..
Then the expertise is explicitly searchable and also indicative of people willing to apply that expertise in those scenarios. Then we would not be limited to content authors but could truely expand into profiles for everyone in an organization with some indication of expertise.
Example - I may be a doctor specializing and publishing in the subject area of pediatric medicine. However, I am a first responder on the weekends and would be willing to list that expertise for emergencies. I also have many years of experience in federal contracting and would be willing to mentor others and serve on contract review committees.

Hi Na'ama. We need the information to be searchable by logged in FDA users, not admins and not the public. Thanks.
