Monash Doctoral Program online activity management system

The Graduate Research Activity Management System (GRAMS) is now live and ready for use!


GRAMS is an all-encompassing online system that has been designed to support Graduate Research supervisors and students in the management of their professional development activities. Activities are categorised into three Modules - the Compulsory Module, the Graduate Researcher Development Module and the Discipline Enhanced Development Module. Student's access to, and requirements within, these Modules will be dependent on their year and course of enrolment.

GRAMS will allow supervisors to:

• View all your students and their Monash Doctoral Program;
• Search for available activities, both Graduate Researcher Development and Discipline Enhanced Development, and make recommendations to your students;
• View and monitor students attendance at activities and hours completed;
• Generate reports to assist in tracking your students’ progress in their respective programs.

The Graduate Researcher Development Module is available to all graduate research students regardless of course and year of enrolment. It contains a selection of research, professional and career related development activities designed to establish students as a researcher and give them a competitive edge when it comes to employment opportunities. All of the activities in this Module are categorised into the following eight Learning Domains:

• Research Essentials;

• Managing your Career;

• Publishing, Communication and Dissemination;

• The Professional Toolkit;

• Networking and Collaboration;

• Leading Projects and People;

• Graduate Researchers who Teach;

• The International Experience (available in 2016).

• View all your students and their Monash Doctoral Program;

• Search for available activities, both Graduate Researcher Development and Discipline Enhanced Development, and make recommendations to your students;

• View and monitor students attendance at activities and hours completed;

• Generate reports to assist in tracking your students’ progress in their respective programs.

The Discipline Enhanced Development Module will only be available to students enrolled in a Graduate Research Professional Development Program within the Monash Doctoral Program.

The Biomedical Sciences Doctoral Training Programme appears under 1. Graduate Research Professional Development (GRPD) under Discipline Enhanced Development (DED). 

GRAMS will allow supervisors to:
