 Delegated authority

PIs can nominate one or more delegates to enter information on his or her behalf. It is only the PI who can set up delegates, it cannot be done by anyone else. Note that it is PIs who are responsible for making the final submission.

Checking your awards

If your grant closed more than 5 years ago, it should have a response code 3, meaning that no further submissions are required. If this is not the case and it has a response code 1, could Departments e-mail RFCam@admin.cam.ac.uk by 9am Thursday 6th Nov, so that we can liaise with RCUK to change the response code.

If there is an award on Researchfish that you don’t recognise, please e-mail RFCam@admin.cam.ac.uk so that we can reallocate it to the appropriate Department  to give them time to submit their outputs.
