I have checked the Research Portal and as I write, the time remaining to submit an application is 2 days 22hours. I have received a number of enquiries asking what is going on and some think this is a technical error. Please refer enquiries to this notice, and especially the links provided for assistance should students be experiencing any technical issues. Thanks so much.
