Awarded grants

Funders are increasingly asking for information about the outcomes of research that they have funded. myPublications helps you to record this information by linking outputs to the grants that funded them.

Add a grant

Grants can be added to myPublications in three ways:

1. Automatically from the Costing Tool (formerly known as URMS). All grants with a status of Handover, Live, or Completed are added to the grants list of the named co-investigators. 

2. Automatically/semi-automatically from scholarly databases. This works in exactly the same way as per outputs. myPublications searches for your grants in scholarly databases and either adds them to your grants list automatically based on your configured unique IDs, or to your grants pending list. 

3. Added manually using the large + at the top of your grants list.

Mange your grants

Go to My Profile > My Work > Awarded Grants to see your grants list. They can be sorted, filtered, and managed in the exactly the same way as outputs. 

Missing grants

If a grant is in the Costing Tool but has not been added to your grants list myPublications, then it is possible that:

• You are not a named investigator on the grant.

• The record in the Costing Tool is associated with a previous user account. 

• The grant does not have a status of Handover, Live, or Completed.

If a grant was awarded at a prior institution and not transferred to Sheffield, then myPublications may still find it in the scholarly databases. If not, then you can add it manually.

It's sometimes necessary to link grants to people not listed in the Costing Tool. One of the named investigators, or an administrator, can do this by clicking the title of the relevant grant from their list and then using the Links tab.
