A Research Project in ResearchNow is an organised repository, efficiently containing and managing a wide array of content linked with a research project. It is simply a container or ‘bundle’ in ResearchNow that can contain multiple applications and awards, and also research outputs, presentations, etc. It’s a useful way to publish current research activity on the researcher’s profile in the ResearchNow Portal, if approved by the College Dean (Research).
