Call to update Hons and Graduate Research Projects for 2019

It’s that time of year when we ask you to update your projects, ahead of our BMedSc(Hons) and Honours / PhD recruitment season.

The Faculty has launched a new database, Supervisor Connect, which is now our primary higher degree by research (HDR) recruitment tool.  We won’t be producing the projects booklet from this year, instead, we’ll direct students to the database.

Online views of projects

The projects listed in the public online database get a lot of views, around 3500 a month in slow times & 8000 in peak times of advertising for recruitment events.
Google analytics data for the Faculty’s Research Project database - about 60K views in 12 months:


We recently migrated all projects into Supervisor Connect, however, the new database operates on a different platform so you may find some information is not entirely complete or accurate.

All projects from last year are currently ‘unpublished’ to ensure we’re not advertising out-of-date projects. 

It’s very simple to update and publish existing projects, or create new projects for 2019!!
Please go to Supervisor Connect (https://www.monash.edu/medicine/research/supervisorconnect) and update, publish and/or create projects.   The Faculty’s BMedSc(Hons) information night is on Monday 14 May, so we ask that you update or create your new projects within the next week.

1.       You will need to login with your Monash University authcate.




2.       The system requires all supervisors to have a PURE profile.  If you don’t have one, please create a PURE profile and link it to your Supervisor Connect profile.  Please note that PURE will be unavailable between 7-8am, 12-1pm and 5-6pm until 10 May.

3.       To update and publish existing projects, please go to “My Projects”.   Please make sure you update any missing fields or incorrect information that may have not migrated properly.  It’s REALLY important to include as many relevant key words as possible.  This is how prospective students will find you!!

4.       To republish an existing project, tick the ‘published’ box at the bottom of your project entry.  It will turn blue, indicating its active status.

5.       Creating a new project is quite straightforward:



6.       You must select “School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health / Hudson Institute” as your School.  Department, primary and secondary research themes are also compulsory fields.

7.       Physical location:  most of our projects will take place at “Monash Health Translation Precinct (Monash Medical Centre) which is an automatic option when you start typing this.  Our other options include “Dandenong Hospital”, ‘BASE facility, Notting Hill”, Department of Health and Human Services”, “Kingston Centre”.  If you need more options, please email me and I’ll add them to the database.
