ResearchMaster
ResearchMaster
As part of ACU's commitment to improving research processes, ResearchMaster has been implemented as the University’s research management system. ResearchMaster (RM) allows the university to manage research outputs, research grants, higher degree research students and research ethics applications. The RM database interfaces with the HR system, Academic Workload software, Banner and the ACU Research Bank.
ResearchMaster on the Desktop.
Orion
Orion (Research Information Online) is the web based interface of ResearchMaster. Available via an internet browser from any computer or location, Orion enables improved access to and enhanced reporting of research data. Orion is now available to all academics, HDR students, RDCC and Faculty Research Admin Staff. We are planning to have Human Ethics Online available to all staff in March and are currently conducting small group training on each campus. Keep an eye on the Human Research Ethics webpage for further details.
Accessing Orion
You can access Orion at orion.acu.edu.au. Use your ACU staff username and password to log in.
