Institutional Research Information System

Summary

The Institutional Research Information System (IRIS) provides a way for researchers in UCC to create and maintain an online research profile with details of their background, interests, publications, projects, and other involvements. The profile can be selectively published to the web, with only the relevant details included, and can be included automatically in the researcher's departmental, school, faculty, college, or project web site. Profiles can also be formatted as CVs for submission as part of funding applications, project plans, and consortium formations. The profiles form a part of UCC's and the individual's research record, and can be used for the evaluation of institutional and individual research achievement. IRIS does not currently contain details on research funding.

The new Institutional Research Information System replaces the previous InfoEd system, and all data from there has been transferred into the new system, along with all the data gathered in the 2009 Research Quality Review (Appendix A) documents. The initial phase of deployment involves a small number of pilot departments, and the system will become generally available on a phased basis during 2010.
