Managing your staff profile with Find an Expert

Research Master is the source-of-truth for Deakin-affiliated grant data, and Elements is updated via a weekly feed from Research Master (data is brought in Monday evenings).

All grants created via this feed will be listed on your Grant Details pages in Elements as being from the Institutional Grants System. This will generally be Deakin-led grants/funding that falls within HERDC Categories 1 to 4. You cannot edit or delete any grants created from this feed.

Any grants not listed in your profile from this feed (including any non-Deakin-led grants) can be manually added via Elements.
