WATCH THE REVIEWING YOUR SPONSORED PROJECT ACTIVITY TUTORIAL VIDEO
On your Homepage, you may see a prompt to claim your Sponsored Projects.
If you already have claimed sponsored projects, you may wish to check and verify that they have been correctly attributed to you. (Elements pulls in records from external as well as internal sources; this may result in duplicate records).
In the “Pending” section, you will see sponsored projects that the system has associated with your name or other identifiers. You should review these activities and either claim or reject them.
You may also see some suggested research identifiers (e.g. Dimensions Researcher ID) at the top of the page. Claiming or rejecting these identifiers can help you with auto claiming or rejecting scholarly and sponsored project activities (see Automatic Claiming of Scholarly Work & Sponsored Projects.docx for more information).
Once you have claimed/rejected all pending sponsored project activities in your profile, you may need to add activities from your CV that were not automatically imported into Elements by the internal feed or external data sources.
- Go to the Sponsored projects box on your homepage, select +ADD NEW and select the sponsored project type you wish to add.
- You can find additional guidance here Sponsored Project Activity Types.
- Complete all of the necessary information in the form and click SAVE.
