Requesting a Project

The following outlines how to:

  • Request a New Project on MASSIVE

  • Access an existing project on MASSIVE.

Note: MASSIVE requires that users agree to an acceptable use policy and agree to participate in an annual survey before they are given access to the facility.

Project requests are reviewed on a weekly basis.

Request a New Project

Access to MASSIVE is open and free of charge to all users who secure an allocation through a Partner, Affiliate Partner or merit allocation scheme, or use the system through an integrated instrument.

New projects are requested by a member of University Faculty or Institutional Research Staff and should be the lead CI on the research project.

Undergraduate and postgraduate students are not able to lead MASSIVE projects and should request their supervisor or research lead to request a project.
