Pre-Application: Login via Corppass

1. How do I log in to the Research Grants Portal?

You need a Corppass account to access Research Grants Portal. If your Host Institute doesn’t have a Corppass administrator, find out how to appoint one.

If you have a Corppass administrator, get them to create an account for you and assign an appropriate ApplyGov e-Service role, so you can access the Portal.

2. What are the ApplyGov User and ApplyGov User Admin roles on the ApplyGov e-service?

ApplyGov User Admin: This is a role that is assigned to an organisation's user admin, who will be able to access the user management module to approve / reject access requests from the users in your organisation.

ApplyGov User: This is a role that is given to normal users, not needing user admin access, who will need to transact on the Research Grants Portal. For e.g. Applicant, Data Admins, HI Verifiers and HI Endorsers.

3. How do I assign ApplyGov Corppass roles to access Research Grants Portal?

1. Login to Corppass. Under "e-Service Access" tab, select "Assign selected e-Services".

2. Select relevant user account(s) to assign the e-Service(s). Click "Next".

3. To access RGP, select “ApplyGov” e-Service under “Government Technology Agency of Singapore”. Click “Next”.

4. Under Role, select ApplyGov User Admin or ApplyGov User and indicate the authorisation effective and expiry dates. Click “Next”.

5. Verify the request and click “Submit”.

6. Your assigned user(s) will now able to access RGP via Corppass login with the assigned roles.

4. Is it possible for a HI User Admin to also hold other RGP roles?

If a user requires both HI Verifier and HI User Admin roles on RGP, he/she only needs to hold ApplyGov User Admin role on the Corppass end. Steps are as follows:

1. Request for the "ApplyGov User Admin" role in Corppass. Your organization Corppass Admin will perform this step.
2. Log in to RGP. For first time login, enter your email address to onboard. Request the role you require (e.g., "HI Verifier").
3. Manually go to: apply.gov.sg/admin (This is the user admin module used to manage role approvals.)
4. Approve your own role request.

5. Do Team PIs, Co-Is and collaborators need an RGP account?

Currently, Team PIs, Co-Is and collaborators do not require an RGP account to be listed as team members in the application form. However, if they need to assist with completing the application form, they will need RGP accounts before the Lead PI could share the access with them.

As best practice, when the researchers are made aware that they are to be part of a grant application by the main host institution, they should immediately inform their OREs, User Admins and Corppass Admins to onboard them to ApplyGov e-service and RGP.
