Research projects are the core of each summer program cycle. A researcher proposes a project, a coordinator validates it, and once validated it becomes visible to students in the catalog. Students can then browse and apply to projects they are interested in. Coordinators and institutional coordinators who create projects directly skip the pending step and are published immediately.Documentation Index

Researcher workflow
When you are logged in as a researcher (role 4), campus coordinator (role 3), or institutional coordinator (role 2), you can propose new projects from your My Projects dashboard.Open the project form
Click My Projects in the navigation menu, then click Propose new project. The form will not open if you have already reached the project limit for the active summer period.
Fill in the project details
Complete all required fields (see the table below). Select the research area, modality, and the minimum career progress percentage a student must have to be eligible for assignment to this project.
Submit for validation
Submit the form. If you are a researcher (role 4), your project is saved with
isValid = 0 and appears as pending validation in your project list. If you are a coordinator (role 2 or 3), your project is published immediately with isValid = 1.Required fields when creating a project
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
title | Project title |
career | Target career / academic program |
activity | Main research activities the student will perform |
skills | Skills or competencies required from the student |
modality | Delivery modality (e.g., in-person, remote) |
observations | Additional notes or requirements |
studentAmount | Number of student slots available |
idArea | Research area (selected from the configured area list) |
careerProgressPercentage | Minimum degree completion percentage required for eligible students (integer) |
The
profile field is set to a default value automatically. The project is also automatically linked to your campus, institution, and the active summer period.Project limits per summer period
Each summer period configuration includes apendingResearchProjects value that caps how many projects a single researcher can propose. If you have already reached that limit, the Propose new project button redirects you back to My Projects with an error message. The limit applies per researcher per summer period, so your count resets for each new edition of the program.
Validation toggle
Coordinators (roles 1, 2, 3) access the institution project list and can open any project’s detail page to approve or reject it. ThetoggleValidation action accepts a status parameter: 1 to approve and 0 to reject. A project can be toggled back and forth until the summer period closes.
When a coordinator or institutional coordinator creates a project themselves (rather than a researcher), the platform sets
isValid = 1 automatically at creation time — no separate validation step is needed.Student catalog
Students (role 5) and coordinators (roles 1, 2, 3) can browse the validated project catalog at View Projects. The catalog supports the following filters:- Keyword search — matches against the project title.
- Area filter — narrows results to a specific research area.
- Modality filter — filters by delivery modality.
