We’ve funded a range of projects to guide our roadmap for the future
Bridging the Gap: Aligning project administration with access to digital research infrastructure
Engage stakeholders including research administrators, IT teams, data providers and governance leads, to identify technical and policy barriers in research access.
These findings will shape the development of a practical, step-by-step guide that institutions can use to streamline digital research infrastructure access and prepare for wider adoption of federated systems nationally.
