Lot #1Current Research Information SystemsRenewal

The Current research information systems (CRISs) will collect and store information about an institution’s research activity.

The other institutional systems might include HR systems, finance systems, grant management systems, institutional and data repositories and student systems. Much of this information will be for internal use only but some may be made public via a repository or web portal.
