    Working with Grant Information

    Working with Grants

    A user must have the following role to manage grant information:
    • Research Assets Manager

    Esploro enables you to manage information about grants. This information is useful primarily for reporting purposes in Analytics, for example to view the list of assets that were sponsored by a grant. This page shows you how to manage grant information. For configuring grant information see here. For a video showing how to work with grants see here.

    You manage grant information on the Find and Manage Grants page (Research Management > Grants > Manage Grants). You can add, edit, and delete information about grants on this page.
