# Setting up your Profile

After signup, you will be asked to setup your profile. If you have been invited this has already been done for you and you can skip ahead to [How the Dashboard Works](/understanding-the-dashboard/how-the-dashboard-works.md).

To create your profile, we ask for basic personal information including your full name, university or institution, job title, department. This information helps us accurately match grants for you and set up your profile based on your public research record.

Next, we will configure your profile's research interests.
