Funding, News and Announcements

The Digital Research Alliance of Canada (the Alliance) is thrilled to announce the beta launch of Lunaris, a national research data discovery service provided by the Alliance as one of its core research data management (RDM) services.

Discover Lunaris

Formerly known as the Federated Research Data Repository (FRDR) Discovery Service, Lunaris is a standalone platform that complements the repository services of FRDR. The scalable and bilingual Lunaris platform provides a single point of search for Canada’s multidisciplinary research data held in a variety of repositories including those of post-secondary institutions, departments at all levels of government, research organizations and national repository initiatives. There are over 80,000 datasets from over 100 Canadian repositories and data collections currently indexed for discovery. Lunaris features integrated text- and map-based search functionality, improved user experience design and new branding.

The project team is seeking feedback on the beta version of Lunaris. Please send feedback to support@lunaris.ca. Feedback will be used to identify improvements for the full production launch.
