Yesterday’s upgrade of BRIAN was completed successfully. The system is now fully usable.
Updated guides and videos will be available soon. In the interim, if you have any queries, please email BRIAN@bournemouth.ac.uk.
Details of grants can now be recorded in BRIAN. This document explains how to manage grant information: BRIAN – Managing grants – Sep 13
The research themes have been updated too. As a result, there is a new theme available ‘Ageing, Society and Dementia’ which you may wish to add to your profile, if applicable. It would be good if you could check your choice of research themes in BRIAN to ensure they still reflect your interests.
We are now working on the release of the new staff profile pages and will tell you more about this shortly.
