• Project title
• Project lead
  • You can search for and add a project lead. You will only be able to find profiles for GeCIP members who have accounts and have completed their Information Governance training. Those who haven't can be added as external contributors below.
• Co-researchers
  • You should include all researchers who are expected to be authors on any publication resulting from this project as co-researchers. For GeCIP members who have received account details for the Research Environment, you will be able to add them by searching for their name.
  • If anyone working on the project does not have an account for the Research Environment (yet), or hasn't completed their Information Governance training, you will not be able to find them by searching for their name. Instead you can add them as ‘external contributors’ on the page after you have selected co-researchers; you will need their full name and email address in order to do this.
