UQ Research Data Manager

This UQRDM Guide will help you set up your UQRDM project record, storage and service allocations, manage your collaborators and access your stored data across the project lifecycle.

HDR students are directed to our HDR support information before starting to use UQRDM.

The UQ Research Data Manager (UQRDM) has been specifically designed to help researchers manage their project's research data from project conception, to the publication and dissemination of results. For more information and advice on how to plan, collect and organise your project's research data, please refer to Manage research data. 

UQRDM:

• Brings flexibility to research data storage, and streamlines project workflows.
• Provides a central tool for storing research data, managing storage allocations, and associated services
• Supports multiple appropriate storage allocations per project for ethics, compliance, flexibility and better management of your data
• Minimum of 1TB of data is provisioned when you select a storage allocation, but can be expanded. It is automatically provisioned on submission and approval of a project record.
• Enables easy collaboration with UQ and external researchers from any institution or organisation. UQRDM project record owner and project leads can add or remove collaborators at any time directly from the project record.
• Offers ease of access to stored data for UQ and external collaborators, via either desktop (for UQ collaborators) or a user friendly cloud based service (for UQ and external collaborators).
• Assists in meeting funding body requirements (e.g. ARC), where researchers must outline how they will manage data arising from a project..
• Minimises the occurrence of data loss/leakage by ensuring that the data is stored according to "data type" requirements for security and back-up (e.g. if a project has identifiable human data this will always be stored at UQ). 
• Supports submission of HDR theses and review and conferral workflows.
