How to register a project with the Discovery Research Platform for Hidden Cell Biology Project Registration Procedure All projects and researchers using the DRP-HCB and any of the Cores must first register their project by submitting the online DRP-HCB Project registration form. Please refer to the guidelines and example below when completing the form. DRP-HCB Project Registration Form This example of a completed project registration form can be used as guidance. Document Example DRP-HCB completed Project Registration form (120.89 KB / PDF) Guidelines for completing the Project Registration form About the project 1. Projects can be ongoing, newly funded or in advance of a funding application. 2. Each project will be given a unique project ID number by the DRP-HCB Management team. 3. A project will have a scientific goal and be equivalent to a single aim of a multi-person grant (Wellcome, ERC etc.), one postdoc project grant or a stand-alone PhD studentship. 4. Projects should be updated annually. Who should register a Project? The grant holder (usually the Group Leader) is responsible for registering a project. If a PhD student has their own grant the group leader should include the student’s name on the registration form, Postdoctoral researchers with their own funding should include the name of the Group leader on the registration form, with Postdoc/PhD student/PI in brackets after the names. Project alignment with the DRP-HCB To determine how your project aligns to the DRP, refer to the DRP-HCB remit. DRP-HCB Remit Projects that do not align with the DRP-HCB remit should still be registered and will have access to the Cores. Key questions on the project registration form Question 13 "How does the project align with the DRP - HCB?" (This is Question 10 if you answered 'no' to "Do you have funding for this project?") The information given here will be reported back to Wellcome to monitor DRP-HCB outcomes so it is especially important that the benefit of your project to the overall Hidden Cell Biology theme is well articulated. What we are looking for is not how you will use the platform but how your findings will benefit the platform and its aims, ie. how your findings will uncover new hidden biology in one or more of the areas covered by the pipelines. Wellcome will want to know: 1. What is the big question addressed by your project i.e. what are the big unknowns. 2. What has made these big unknowns challenging to address or why have they been neglected previously? 3. How will your project advance our understanding of Hidden Cell Biology within the themes of the three pipelines (Uncharacterised proteome, Atom-to-Cell, Rare Events)? Question 14 "How will the DRP platform cores help to overcome barriers that you are facing?" (This is Question 11 if you answered 'no' to "Do you have funding for this project?") Outline here how the Platform and its Pipelines will allow you to make the advances discussed in Question 13 (10). Researchers named on the Project Each project can have more than one researcher associated with it, but they should all be working towards the same scientific aim. It would not be appropriate to have a single project covering the entire research group. Researchers involved in the project must be named on the project registration form. Only these named researchers can access the Cores. Changes to Staff and Students named on a DRP-HCB project can be updated at any time via the short online form.
