This paper deploys bibliometric indices and semantic techniques for understanding to what extent research grants are likely to impact publications, research direction, and co-authorship rate of principal investigators. The novelty of this paper lies within the fact that it includes semantic analysis in the research funding evaluation process in order to effectively study short-term and long-term funding impact in terms of publication outputs. Our dataset consists of researchers that receive research grants from the National ICT Research and Development funding program of Pakistan. We show a number of interesting case studies to conclude that bibliometric-based quantitative assessment combined with semantics can lead to building better sustainable pathways to deploy evaluation frameworks for research funding effectively.
