We obtained this screen by: 1. Opening “eResearch Assistant” Cabinet (shows the five Drawers (green)2. Opening one of the Drawers (Federal Agency Awards) by clicking on the “+” symbol. Once clicked it becomes
“-” and displays the Folders that it contains.3. The next column (light blue) is a partial listing of the records that the Folder contains. 4. Notice that “My Research Folders” Drawer as well as “My Research Portfolios” include the “Login” folder
and you may login from either place.

Populating Folders with Grants and Awards
The steps to populate grants and awards in your personal folders are the following: 1. Click on “My Research”. No folders are shown. 2. Click on “Federal Agency Awards” folder. Once awards are shown on the screen, select the one desired and drag it to “My Research” folder. In the example above the selected award (Condensed Matter Physics) has Been selected. The message shown asks you to confirm the selection. Once confirmed, “My Research” folder color changes to red. 3. Once you have transferred all the desired files, “My Research” folder will indicate this fact by creating the folder “Awards” . In a similar fashion grants may be added.
Click on the trash can symbol to remove record from your folder.
