Create a new M3 project
Only Monash staff members can apply to create projects. PhD/HDR students must ask their supervisor(s) to apply for a new project.
Generally, a CI (Chief Investigator) may only lead one active M3 project at a time. Please contact our help desk if you think you need multiple M3 projects.
Please wait up to 2 weeks for your project request to be approved or rejected.
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 (Chief Investigator) on the research project.
