From the Judges' Report
An in-house staff successfully combined 10 existing research support sites into a single user-centric and easily navigable toolkit to support activity at this major research institution. The homepage presents several points of entry to deeper levels of the site, depending on a user's role, specific known needs, or their stage in a project lifecycle. Policies, forms and process documents share a common look and feel. Search is robust and the glossary functionality is helpful for clarifying common research jargon and abbreviations.
