Change requests
Create, submit, and track requested changes
The Change request tile will allow you to draft, edit and submit changes for your project.
Their are two types of changes that can be requested:
- Organisations and People: add or remove partner organisations and researchers
- Project Details: change project details including project title, scope, data, objectives and outcomes, ethics and sensitive data sections and the project end date.
Only one Change request per type can be submitted at any one time.
Any active researcher on the project can generate the Change request, and after the form is generated, only the Project Editor can edit the details.
Generate a draft
To generate a Change request, select the 'Create Change Request' button. This button is available from all status menu tables (Draft, Pending, Approved and Closed).
There are 3 steps to generated the draft

It can take up to 20 minutes for the change request form to generate.
