Submitting Investigators: UAS

​​Investigators can be added at the proposal level if they need to manage the proposal, including submitting samples to UAS which is a necessary prerequisite for preparing those samples for shipping.

Further details on UAS.

Investigators are advised that:

• The Principal Investigator (PI) has overall responsibility for all aspects of a proposal and is the main contact with Diamond regarding all issues with a proposal. A PI can edit and submit proposals.
• The Alternate Contact (AC) is a named member on the proposal who has been nominated by the PI to receive all information from Diamond concerning the proposal. The AC can respond in place of the PI and must be an experienced user. An AC can edit and submit the proposal.
• Co-Investigator (CI) is named on a proposal by the PI or AC. A CI can edit but not submit the proposal.
• All those investigators named on the proposal will have access to all scientific data and other information about all experimental sessions within this proposal.
• An ERA Editor has the ability to create, edit and submit ERA items (Samples, Equipment, and Experimental Methods) and view the proposal, but cannot edit other proposal information or access scientific data (unless granted access by being added to specific sessions)
• An Associate has a relationship to the proposal outside of the UAS, but has no permissions to access the proposal in UAS or scientific data (unless granted access by being added to specific sessions). This relationship is available to other Diamond systems which may provide additional functionality based on it.

Note that diamond staff have limited ability to change staff on proposals, and the prinicipal investigator or alternate contacts on that proposal should action changes to investigators. Issues can be raised with [email protected]
