Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network (AURIN) Phase IV. AURIN is a large national project ($40m+) funded by the federal government Department of Education (it was formerly funded by the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science (also formerly known as DIISRTE/DIISR) through the Education Investment Fund (EIF) and the National Collaboration Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) activities. AURIN provides a unique data rich environment for accessing “definitive data” from urban settlements. It provides single-on, secure programmatic access to (at present) over 2000 live data sets from many major organisations across Australia including the likes of the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Department of Health Victoria and many others. A unique feature of AURIN is that (wherever possible) it provides access to remote data sets rather than seek to establish a local data warehouse. The system has over 7000 regular users. AURIN Phase IV is a two year extension of the AURIN work.

Metabolomics Australia Sample Tracking Repository is a project funded by the Bio21 Institute through their involvement in Bio-platforms Australia. The grant runs from July 2017 – December 2017. This platform is for use in the tracking of physical bio-specimens and the associated metabolomics data analysis for researchers across Australia. PRESS are responsible for augmenting the existing platform for improved sample management including export to internationally standardised data formats as well as mobile applications for tracking of samples and delivery of results.
