Effective ways that RAiD can be used
Set up and then rely on auto-population of RAiD metadata for speedy administrative approvals
Before Kaylah undertook research of certain patients at Princess Alexandra Hospital, she needed to fill out her university’s Data Management Plan with all her research objectives and data uses. She then needed to laboriously do this all again to receive approval from the hospital’s Human ResearchEthics Committee to proceed with her research. Such administrative effort was time-consuming, required significant double-handling of project information and created an unnecessary risk of error by both Kaylah and her university’s administrators.
When Kaylah’s project was assigned a RAiD name, her university’s research management system could now automatically ‘read’ the data in Kaylah’s initial Data Management Plan and from this, automatically prepopulate and prepare the required Human Research Ethics Committee submission on her behalf.
With the Human Research Ethics Committee having access to a RAiD system too, Kaylah’s computer-generated research submission was also ‘read’ by the Health Ethics Board’s computer once received. Without any outstanding issues needing to be addressed, Kaylah received her approval to proceed from the Human Research Ethics Committee and without any administrative delay.
Update and link RAiD projects and subprojects for long-term research team usefulness
Miles is a PhD student studying the longitudinal effects of rainwater vs chlorinated tap water on fast-growing green vegetation. His study area is part of a larger research project at Gatton University that is seeking the best ways of optimising small-crop harvest rates during ongoing seasons of low rainfall. When Gatton University got a RAiD for its research project, the ARDC advised that all PhD projects should be considered as subprojects with their own RAiDs too.
When Miles’ PhD project was assigned a RAiD, he wasn’t aware of it. However, whenever he reported his collected data samples and their corresponding datasets to the university, his information was linked to his PhD’s RAiD metadata record by university administrators and shared with the larger research team. The University also added Mile’s subproject RAiD to the thesis for later tracking purposes as well.
From analysis of Miles’ progress, his supervisor decided to apply for an agricultural grant to support a postdoctoral extension of Miles’ work. When the grant was awarded, this information was added to a new, related RAiD metadata record.
Following the conclusion of his postdoctoral project, Miles’ new workplace in agricultural drought solutions wished to understand more about his studies and various conditions of his study. Miles was able to share his PhD RAiD name with his workplace so they could compare their internal research findings with Miles’ PhD study findings.
Later, when Miles went to live overseas, he was again able to share his PhD RAiD name with his next agricultural workplace, in the quest of accessing Gatton University’s larger project RAiD. The overseas workplace could now identify other contributors who may now be interested in supporting global research being undertaken into larger hemisphere rainfall vs country groundwater research analysis.
Publishers may include a RAiD name in publication metadata to identify, add and update over time documents that are published for a particular project or activity.
A research organisation can use a RAiD URL to share project or activity data with another research organisation.
A researcher can use a RAiD to access a research facility’s (e.g.) supercomputer faster.
Authors may include a RAiD citation in publications until publisher platforms support RAiD.
All within a geographically spread research team can access their RAiD metadata at the same time.
A research community can view and track a project’s grant, no matter who provided the grant.
A RAiD service point can update a RAiD’s metadata record whenever a project change occurs, such as the awarding of new funding, publishing of new papers or addition of a new team member.
Collected RAiD metadata information for a project or activity serves as an persistent and accessible archive even after a project or activity is complete.
The undertaking of intelligent analysis and smarter reporting using RAiD research outputs, derived project outcomes and impact predictability forecasts, at any stage of a project or activity
Convenient and persistent RAiD access once a RAiD project or activity has closed.
