Using the POLARIS Prototype

There is a deployed prototype of the Polaris web interface that can be used for experimentation and evaluation. There are some things to be aware of

  • The tool is still under development
  • There are many "rough edges"
  • The prototype will be updated with new features at irregular intervals.
  • There is no guarantee that the data in the prototype will be stored long term

Example Data in the prototype

If you simply want to log in and see an example proposal without registering yourself, then log in as

  • username: pi
  • password: pi

which logs you in as an example Principal Investigator called "John Flamsteed" who already has one proposal prepared.

Then see instructions for creating a proposal.

Polaris use at specific organizations

Please see Organization Specifics to discover what additional details organizations using Polaris may want to capture about a proposal that cannot be captured by the current version of Polaris in general.
