Electronic submissions for research applications
The University is registered for a number of electronic systems provided by funders.
Currently we use:
- JeS – All research Councils from Autumn 2009 including the Medical Research Council
- eGrants – Wellcome Trust
- eGap – Royal Society
- eRA – National Institutes of Health
Details of each system and the user registration rules and requirements may be found within the relevant funder’s websites as listed below.
As the University of Bristol administrative authority the Finance Office performs certain tasks on these systems the most significant being:
- confirming registered user and HoD accounts as required
- submitting research applications to the funder on behalf the University.
- submitting final expenditure statements to the funder on behalf the University.
General
Users – where confirmation is required users must be a current or future member of staff (including honorary) listed on PIMS.
Finance prefer that staff use the central UoB email account assigned for ease of checking.
Queries
All queries should be directed to the external system’s helpdesk in the first instance. They will redirect the query to the Finance Office where appropriate.
UoB Process
Research applications require 2 working days to be processed in Finance.
