The UWA Institutional Research Data Store (IRDS) provides researchers with a centralised, secure and UWA-supported data storage facility in which to store electronic research data. It is recommended for long-term storage and archiving purposes, and enables ongoing access to these valuable assets at no cost to researchers and in a broad range of file types. 

The IRDS is available to all UWA researchers. This includes Academic Staff, Professional Staff and Higher Degree by Research (HDR) Students. 

For more information and to request visit the IT Service Catalogue.

See UWA's Research Data Management Toolkit for more information about storing research data and secure storage options.
