Capturing Creative Research Outputs
All qualifying creative research outputs must be captured on the eRA system.
The DHET’s policy requires that a researcher submitting creative research outputs, submit a number of declarations. You may use the template below to submit these declarations.
UCT Research Contracts & Innovation (RC&I) confirm the data associated with patents that have been granted over a rolling three-year period and load the information and supporting documents on the DHET’s ROSS platform. Whilst RC&I may contact inventors to confirm certain details, IP Creators are not required to make a personal submission.
