Only research projects are pulled in automatically from Agresso
On a nightly basis, Pure information about Projects, Applications and Awards is updated with data from Agresso. This includes information about research projects (as indicated by Agresso project code starting with ‘R’) and consultancies (as indicated by project code starting with AB). Agresso data in Pure dates from 2008.
You can add more information to these records (such as description, links to project website and change visibility). However, you will not be able to make changes to some fields (title, investigators, funder, funded amount). If any of these need to be amended, please email pure@bath.ac.uk.
However, for your Research Activity Report you may wish to record research-related funding, for example, public engagement grants and studentships, or collaborations where no income comes to the University. You may also want to record funding you held at your previous university. On your Research Activity Report all these projects will be classified as ‘Non-funded’.
Adding projects
To add a project click on the green ‘Add content’ button at the top right of the screen and select ‘Project’.
Next, select the most appropriate template. For example, if you are adding a project that you undertook at a previous university, select ‘Project at a former HEI’. If it is research-related funding, including GW4 accelerator or public engagement funds, select ‘Research-related funding’.
General rules to filling in the template
- Fields marked with a red asterisk are mandatory
- Link your project to your other content in Pure, in particular your research outputs
- Remember to save your record before you close it
Filling in the template
- 'Nature of activity type': categorise the type of funding you received
- 'Title': use the formal title of the grant if it had one. If not, choose a title that will be meaningful to you and others in the future
- 'Total funding (non-Agresso projects)': add the value of the grant
- 'Description': the first line should be the funder
- 'Participants': add internal or external people
- 'Collaborative partners': add details of your collaborative internal and external organisations, for example universities and stakeholder groups
- 'Life cycle': you must add a start and end date for your project to appear in your Research Activity Report. The dates can be approximated
- 'Related applications and awards': link to your related applications and awards held in Pure
- 'Project relations': link your project to your other projects in Pure and define their temporal relationships. For example, was the project seedcorn funding that has now led to a full application, or was it public engagement funding to disseminate the findings of another project?
