Streamline update
Now live – new admin system for animal ethics and biosafety approvals!
The Streamline Program has launched the ResearchPoint system for animal ethics and biosafety/biosecurity approvals.
Go to the system here: https://researchpoint.deakin.edu.au/
What is ResearchPoint?
ResearchPoint is an end-to-end research administration system that will be used for research applications, research integrity and governance, research funding and project management at Deakin.
The release of animal ethics and biosafety approval functionality will be followed by human ethics approvals in Q2 2024, then research funding and project management in late 2024.
The system link and support material is available at various sites across the Deakin online network where research approvals is located.
You can also find everything you need to know about ResearchPoint, including training, on the ResearchPoint Hub.
Upcoming demonstration
There will be a system demonstration in December, so stay tuned for an invitation from the Streamline Program. Take a look at the demonstrations to date:
