Applying for accreditation
Ordinarily, researchers should apply for accreditation through the Research Accreditation Service (RAS).
The third-party supplier of the RAS solution no longer provides this service.
Therefore, RAS is now discontinued and no new applications can be started or submitted in the service.
To replace RAS, new solutions have been developed and will be available from Tuesday 29 April.
The Project Accreditation Service (PASS) and People and Projects Service (PPS) will provide a new route for all project applications and researcher accreditation.
