New user account registrations

If you intend to participate on an Ideas Grant application, and do not have a Sapphire Account, you must have your Sapphire access request submitted to the Research Help Centre no later than 5pm AEST Wednesday 27 May. 

Chief Investigator invitation process

Some applicants have experienced problems with Chief Investigators not being able to accept invitations to join their application. We are working on a solution to this issue and will provide further advice as it becomes available.

Associate Investigator invitations

We have also resolved the issue regarding Associate Investigators not being able to view and accept/decline an application invitation. Application owners are required to generate a new invitation if the "invitation response" is showing as "sent". If required, click the 'Resend Invite' button next to the Associate Investigator’s email address.
