Setting up Atom for your Institution

Setting up Atom Grants for your institution is easy thanks to our automated onboarding process.

Inviting new researchers and administrators

Admins can invite new researchers or administrators to join their organization using the '+ Add Users' button on the Admin Dashboard.

Adding an individual

Clicking 'Add Researcher' (or Admin) will open a modal form. You are required to enter their Name, Email, Department, Job Title. If you don't want the researcher to receive any email communications from us you must unselect 'Send Invite'. This will create the profile but not send an invite. This can be turned on later as shown here.

Here is an example of the invite email sent to new users:

⚠️ Note: Some Organizations have had issues with their IT department blocking the Atom domain on emails, or something similar. If you have issues reach out to us here and we we will help to resolve!

Bulk adding researchers

You can bulk add researchers by selecting 'Import CSV'. You will need to download this csv template and input all the values for each researcher.

1. Uploading your csv

Upload your csv by dragging it into the area below or by selecting the file.

2. Mapping csv fields

If you haven't used our template you will need to map the column names, otherwise this will happen automatically. To map the columns select the 'Destination Column' drop down and choose the correct field your column should map to.

3. Review and edit

The final step is to do a final check, all the fields are editable here so if anything looks wrong just click into it and edit directly. Once you are confident click add researchers in the bottom right to create the profiles.

⚠️ Note: If you select 'Send Invite' after adding the researchers their research interests and eligibility profiles will be created. Even if the researchers have not visited the platform and signed in, they will start receiving the weekly grant emails based off of their research interests.

When adding researchers, we use their name and the University to find grants based on their previous published work. The Admin team can further edit these Research Interests (as shown here), or the researchers themselves can log in through the invite link and edit their profile and research interests directly.
