Who can use this service

Anyone who can sign in to this portal with a CMC Microsoft 365 account can raise this request.

For a research project account at the end of the project.

When to approach us

At the end of a project, once you know the final position on reports and outstanding commitments.

The form asks about the final scientific and financial reports and any pending liabilities, so it is worth having those settled or at least known before you start.

What to have ready

The form asks for:

  • Project Title
  • IRB Approval Number
  • Closure Effective Date
  • Reason for Closure
  • Final Scientific Report
  • Final Financial Report
  • Pending Liabilities Declaration

Useful if you have it:

  • Data Archival Status

You can attach supporting documents after submitting the form.

What happens after you submit

Your request is given a reference number and assigned to a named person in the Research Office. You get an email confirming it, and they are alerted at the same time.

Everything after that happens in one place. Track it under My Requests in your portal, add comments or attachments at any point, and see who it is with and what state it is in. If the Research Office needs something more from you they will set the request to waiting on your response, and you will be emailed.

You can reopen the conversation on a request after it is completed, and nothing is deleted.

We aim to acknowledge your request within one working day, and to complete it within 5 working days.
