This page provides the research community with regular updates on UK Research and Innovation’s (UKRI) new Funding Service.
Funding Service users with administrator status
Recent updates include:
- administrators can edit all sections of an application
- there is an edit log in each section of the application, so applicants and administrators can see who has made an edit and when
- in addition to the existing filter by ‘status’ function, they can now filter and search by groups (if they have already set up their notification groups in the Funding Service)
- administrators can edit and submit the applicant response to reviewers
Project leads
Recent updates include:
- project leads can now give access to collaborators to view the application prior to submission
- references should now be added under the relevant question within an additional word limit allowance
- applicant response can now include images
- references used to anonymise reviewers will appear sequentially (this will appear for usable reviews only, and reference to unusable reviews will remain hidden)
Reviewer
Recent updates include:
- reviewers view the status of review invites and can accept or decline a review invite via their Funding Service account, so they don’t solely have to rely on receiving an email to do this
- reviewer deadline date automatically set to 21 days from invitation
- reviewers can now create an account using link received by email
All users
Recent updates include:
- accessibility improvements across service
- users can change their email
