A number of people can work on an application using the same log in details as long as only one person is working at a time. Ensure you save as you go. Alternatively email gpedresearch@racgp.org.au for a MS Word copy of the form for your research team's input, and then a nominated team member can input the application details into the SmartyGrants form.
