MyResearch Projects

About MyResearch 

MyResearch provides UQ with an enterprise-wide, integrated research management solution. The solution is researcher-centric and project-based. It enables a holistic view of research project management, administration and compliance across the research lifecycle at UQ.

MyResearch enables individual researchers and research administrators to have direct access to key research project information, facilitating research administration and compliance management. It also supports enhanced project financial management with interfaces to UQ systems that control these elements.

The benefits of MyResearch

• upgraded research management software and functionality providing researchers real-time, online project information and control of research administration,
• streamlined online application and electronic approval processes for key research administration tasks and functions,
• enhanced connectivity and integration of research management functions across the research lifecycle (including ethics, funding, data management and publication),
• increased agility to accommodate changing operational requirements,
• enhanced capabilities for analysis, monitoring and governance of research,
• enhanced client satisfaction and ongoing partnerships,
• increased efficiency in project operationalisation and accuracy, and
• reduction in enquiry demand around setup, funding and administration.

MyResearch Projects

MyResearch provides UQ with an enterprise-wide, integrated research management solution. The solution is researcher-centric and project-based. It enables a holistic view of research project management, administration and compliance across the research lifecycle at UQ.

MyResearch Projects is the second stage of the MyResearch system implementation.

It will deliver an extensive new suite of research administration functionality to add to the existing Ethics functions, covering contract research, consultancy, competitive grants and internal schemes. MyResearch will improve activities for both researchers and those who support them across the research lifecycle including the pre-award, acceptance and establishment, post-award management and close and reporting stages.

A key feature of the system is integration with other UQ systems such as UniFi, which ensures existing data such as partner organisations, research team members and financial details are available within the system. 

For Researchers:

• All research administration in one system, regardless of funding stream
• Improved access to information about the status of applications
• Shared access for all team members to enhance visibility and collaboration on applications and project administration
• Email notifications and streamlined workflows for decisions, approvals and milestone tracking

For approvers such as Heads of Schools and Directors of Institutes:

• Email notifications and streamlined workflows for reviews and approvals, including full visibility of all application information in the one system
• Enhanced reporting on all research activities

For Research Support in Faculties, Schools and Institutes:

• Real-time access to all applications from researchers in your area, from initial enquiry through to full application, reviews and approvals
• Earlier notifications with more focussed data from researchers where they require assistance, in particular for contract and consultancy research
• Full visibility of all research funding opportunities, partners, projects and more, enabling greater collaboration across the university

MyResearch Projects is being delivered in two stages:

• The first stage was the roll out of functionality for managing research consultancy, (new) contract research projects, and non-funded research agreements.
• The second stage of implementation will deliver support for other research administration in competitive grants including internal schemes and strategic funding.
