The Graduate Research Portal (GRP) is your window onto collaborative research-enabling tools and award-winning courseware to support your research degree. The Graduate Research Portal helps graduate researchers to:
- Access award-winning resource targeted to each phase of candidature, such as Postgraduate Essentials and the Global Research Ethics and Integrity Module (GREIM)
- Set up secure collaborative authoring sites with your supervisors or colleagues
- Access the Researcher’s Toolkit: your comprehensive resource word processing and reference management systems
- Undertake periodic analyses of the skills you are acquiring throughout your degree
- Create a public Research Profile to publish to the web
The GRP has been designed to support your research degree from beginning through to completion, and beyond, and includes the following sites:
- Grad Research Portal - includes guides and resources for setting up and using your portal, as well as the skills assessment workshop know as the Doctoral Attribute Workshop where you can set learning goals, track the acquisition of skill gains throughout candidature and prepare for writing CVs.
- GRP 1 Starting Out - includes the award-winning Postgraduate Essentials:Strategies for a Successful Start which supports you from induction through to confirmation.
- GRP 2 Ethics Intensive - the home of the Global Research Ethics and Integrity Module (GREIM), a U21 online course.
- GRP 3 Master Classes – includes modules, resources and forums and chat rooms focussing on the research skills required to “bring it all together” during the middle years of your degree: publication, conferencing and the Researcher’s Toolkit.
- GRP 4 Completion and Beyond - heading down the ‘home straight’ and life after the thesis with detailed, practical workshops and tools and Postgraduate Essentials: Completion and Beyond.
- My Workspace is a highly customisable “home base” for your degree. It cannot be accessed by anyone except you, so is perfect for storing and sharing critical documents such as thesis chapters. My workspace has a host of "Web 2.0" tools and the ability to create your own sites to collaborate with colleagues within and outside the University.
