WAGER Portal

WAGER Portal is a set of web-based applications that allow researchers to manage current studies and to analyse data selected from the range of WAGER collections.

Access to WAGER Portal is granted for two primary purposes:

  1. Data Analysis - Specialised tools are provided to support the extraction and analysis of data stored within WAGER collections; and
  2. Study Support - Study management and LIMS applications are available to support the conduct of studies.

The WAGER applications utilise a secure web-based front-end for access to the WAGER data repositories. The use of server/client digital certificates and user authentication/authorisation ensures data can only be accessed and managed from authorised computers. End-to-end data encryption ensures traffic traversing the internet will never travel in the clear. Single sign-on is incorporated into the WAGER Portal so users can access all of the applications and data for which they have permissions from a single site.

One of the applications, Metadata Explorer, is available to the research community upon registering for a WAGER userid. Access to all of the other applications requires formal approval. Refer to the Accessing WAGER section of this website for details regarding access to the other WAGER applications and the Data Collections.

Minimum Requirements

The minimum browser requirements needed to run the web-based front-end of the WAGER application are either Firefox 2 or Internet Explorer 6.
