Learn how to add sponsor details in Themis

If you indicate that your research project involved ‘funded research (internal or external funding)’ on the research checklist, you will need to complete the ‘sponsored projects’ screen. Internal funding includes a department or University grant; external funding is paid by a private organisation or individual, a government department, or similar.

To complete the sponsored project screen:

  1. Tick the checkbox for the source of project funding. If the funding is internal, proceed to step 4.
  2. Use the checkbox to indicate whether you have identified the external sponsors. If you have not identified the sponsors, proceed to step 4.
  3. Add the details of your sponsor.
  4. Use the radio buttons to indicate whether participants will be informed of the source of the project funding.
  5. Enter further details about how you will inform participants of the funding, or why you will not inform them of the funding.
  6. Click ‘next’ to proceed to the next screen.

Add sponsor details

If the sponsor is listed in Themis:

  1. Click ‘add sponsor’. The ‘search and select: add sponsor’ screen will display.
  2. Enter the name (or partial name) of the sponsor you want to add. Use the % wildcard to widen your search (eg: enter ‘science%’ to retrieve all sponsors whose name begins with ‘science’). If you are adding the NHMRC as a sponsor, you should search for ‘national%’. If you are adding the ARC as a sponsor, you should search for ‘Australian%’.
  3. Click ‘go’. A list of all sponsors currently recorded in Themis that match your search criteria will display.
  4. Use the checkbox in the ‘select’ column to indicate the appropriate sponsors, then click ‘select’. The ‘search and select’ screen will close and the sponsor you selected will display in the ‘sponsor’ table.
  5. Repeat these steps to enter additional sponsors if required.

If your sponsor is not listed in Themis:

  1. Click ‘add another row’. A blank row will display in the ‘unlisted sponsor’ table.
  2. Enter the name of the sponsor you want to add.
  3. Repeat these steps to enter additional sponsors if required.
