This research aims to develop a research information system for Piboonbumpen Demonstration School, Burapha University, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed system. The sample group consists of 1) three experts in system development and information services, and 2) 115 users, who are staff members with a practical interest in using the research information system. These participants were selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments used include: 1) Expert interview questionnaires, 2) The developed research information system, and 3) The system effectiveness evaluation form. The data were analyzed using statistical methods, including mean and standard deviation. The research findings are as follows: 1) the analysis, design, and development of the information system revealed that the experts considered the use of PHP and MySQL database management system to be appropriate for the development of the information system. As for data collection, it should be divided into researcher information and research project data. As a result, the researcher developed 1) The information system using PHP program language combined with the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture, with MySQL used for data management. 2) The evaluation results of the system's effectiveness by the experts showed that the research information system was highly efficient in terms of data input, processing, and output, with a mean score of 4.29 and a standard deviation of 0.29. 3) The evaluation results of the system's effectiveness by users, who were staff members of the school, indicated that the research information system performed very well in terms of content, design, and usability, with a mean score of 4.64 and a standard deviation of 0.54.
