Understanding the Portals, Roles, and Permissions

MyResearch Portal (External Portal)
The MyResearch Portal (also known as the External Portal) is used by Researchers, Local Research Support, Heads of Unit and Finance teams to create, view and manage applications.

Research Office – Internal Portal
The Internal Portal is used by the Research Office and has a different interface with advanced functionality not available in the MyResearch Portal.

Who can initiate or submit applications?
Users with a paid position, honorary position or an academic title can initiate, edit and submit applications in MyResearch.

Lead Chief Investigator eligibility
Academic Title Holders can act as the Lead Chief Investigator in MyResearch.

HDR and student access
HDR students can be added as team members and view applications they are part of. Students cannot complete or edit MyResearch Projects applications on behalf of researchers, including Contract Research, Consultancy Research, Non-Funded Research Agreements and (from 2026) Research Grants and UQ Internal Initiatives. Students can still submit applications through MyResearch Ethics.

Working With Applications

Submitting to the funding body
MyResearch does not automatically submit funding proposals to funding bodies. Submission is handled by the Research Office or, in some cases, by the researcher.

Using filters to find applications
Use filters in the Applications tab to quickly locate applications by status, CI, round, date or other key fields.

“Sticky” filters
Filters applied in the MyResearch Portal Dashboards are “sticky” — they remain in place even after you log out or navigate away.

Top 5 in-progress applications
The Top 5 section on your homepage shows your most recently accessed in-progress applications, giving you a quick shortcut back to active work.
