Research Output Funding

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

Article processing charge support is for an accepted manuscript; conference support is for an accepted abstract.

For an article processing charge, once the manuscript is accepted and before the publisher's payment deadline — the form asks for both dates.

For conference support, once your abstract is accepted and before you commit to travel or registration costs.

The form asks for:

• Article Title

You can attach supporting documents after submitting the form.

Your request is given a reference number and assigned to a named person in the grants team. 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 grants team 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.
