First, let's start by identifying what type of outputs your research will generate.
Some projects generate data such as DNA sequences, medical imaging, or statistical analyses of other data. Others may generate novel model organisms or research tools such as algorithms, mice, or laboratory equipment.
Note that activities such as training, infrastructure development, and other non-research activities may not directly generate research outputs at all.
Your research may produce more than one of these types of outputs. Please go through the decision tool for one output at a time and then select the "start over" button to explore additional outputs.
