ResearchResearch
The University of Wollongong has recently subscribed to the new ResearchResearch
online service provided by the publishing group Research Research Ltd.
Established since 1989, Research Research Ltd is the world's leading publisher of
news and information for the research community. From their offices in Sydney, Washington,
Brussels, London, Amsterdam and Sweden, their editorial team provides comprehensive
listings of funding opportunities and sponsors across all disciplines.
http://www.researchresearch.com
ResearchResearch.com's information is stored in two interlinked databases:
- Funding Opportunities
- Sponsors
This is a brief description of what is in each of them:
Funding Opportunities
Records include a detailed abstract of the opportunity including details of eligibility
requirements, deadline, the original text of the call (where available); and links
to the application form, specific page of the sponsor's web site, contact details
of programme management and records in our 'Sponsors' database describing the relevant
research programme and sponsor. Note: You will only see funding opportunities that
Australian researchers are eligible to apply for.
Sponsors
Records include the objectives, eligibility requirements and application procedures
of sponsors along with relevant links, both to ResearchResearch.com's internal databases
and to the sponsor's web pages. Note: You will only see sponsors that Australian researchers
are eligible to apply for funding from.
Staff are encouraged to set up customised funding alerts on their
own areas of research or by Sponsor.
The “Funding opportunities” database has been designed to be easy to
use for occasional users but offers complex search options for regular users. Opportunities
can be browsed by Sponsor, by discipline, type of sponsor, purpose of award, by deadline,
eligibility, and so on.
Other facilities include the ability to collect information (“Bookmark”)
and distribute it to colleagues in the form of a “Magazine”.
This is especially useful for staff with a research co-ordination role.
Access is available from any computer on the university network,
though staff are encouraged to obtain their own username and password, which allows
access from a computer off the University network, as well as allowing staff to receive
email alerts and bookmark items for example. Please link to http://www.researchresearch.com and follow the prompts.
This service is available to all staff of the university.
