Create a research project

Outcome You create a new research space, ready to receive files, applications, and collaborators.

Before you start

• You hold the Organisation Manager or Organisation Faculty role.

• You have a name and description in mind for the project.

• You have decided on visibility - Private is almost always the right choice for active research.

Create the Space

1

Navigate to your organisation Dashboard.

2

Click + NEW RESEARCH PROJECT.

If you already have three or more research projects, the button is at the bottom of the Recent Projects area.

3

Enter a name and description.

The name must be unique within the organisation, so be descriptive. Both name and description can be edited later.

4

Choose a visibility option.

5

Optionally add a README.md description now, or do this later.

6

Click + ADD SPACE.

7

Optionally select an application to add to the Master Instance immediately, or skip and add applications later.

Visibility is set at creation and cannot be changed. All other properties - including name, description, and resource pool mapping - can be modified at any time later.
