Research Portal
Your work is safe and nothing has been lost. Pay the outstanding balance and your portal reopens exactly where you left it. If you believe this is an error, contact us and we will correct it.
A few sentences about your experience. With your permission, we may share selected reviews.
Optional. Bound copies of the issue your paper appears in, for your family, your school, or yourself. $45 each, including shipping within the United States.
1 copy — $45
Mentoring
Everyone assigned to you, what they are working on, and anything waiting on you.
Optional, and worth doing. Your students see it when they are introduced to you and on their own page afterwards, which makes the first session feel less like meeting a stranger.
Optional. One link — your own Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams room — used for every session unless you set a different one for a particular call. Leave it empty and you can add a link per call instead.
Worksheets your students have sent back. Set a status and add feedback; they see it in their portal straight away.
| Submitted | Student | Unit | Status | Feedback | File |

Nothing is waiting on you right now.
Administration
Everyone at Blackwell. Open a record to view or edit it. The other tabs hold applications, billing, materials, and settings.
Everyone who has applied to mentor. Most do not have a portal account. This is the recruitment database, separate from Members. Search by name, institution, discipline, or any text in a bio.
Creates an account for each mentor who has an email address on file and does not yet have one. Mentors set their own password from the portal. No email is sent from here.
Re-applies sharing to every existing workspace: adds anyone missing, removes anyone who should no longer have access, and applies the current link setting. No folders are created and no curriculum is copied. Folders that already have it keep their copy.
Settings configured once and rarely changed. Nothing here is part of day-to-day work.
Kickoff forms are recorded automatically by the kickoff-sync function on the server — instantly when Airtable fires its webhook, and every minute from the scheduled job as a backstop. Nobody needs to be signed in. This panel is the manual override: use it to check a response by hand, or to see what Airtable is returning when something looks wrong.
A token typed here stays in this browser for this session only and is never saved. Do not paste one on a shared computer — the automatic sync does not need it.
Prefill fails silently if a field name is wrong; the form simply opens empty. Test it here before a student sees it.
The link a student opens
Open the form and confirm the fields are prefilled. Then use the third button to see what happens in that student’s portal when the automation delivers it.
No records match these filters.
Records the student as accepted. They then create their own account in the portal using this email address and set their own password.

No submissions yet.
Create the invoice in Stripe first, then record it here so the member can find and pay it from their billing page. Everything below the amount is optional. A charge with no invoice attached still appears and can still be paid normally.
| Date | Member | Description | Amount | Status |
|---|
No charges yet.
Upload a batch and each file is matched to a student by its filename. Nothing is filed until you confirm the matches.
Drop files here, or browse
Word, PDF, or plain text. Multiple files at once are fine.
| Added | Document | Category | Visible to | File |
|---|
No materials yet.
Documents, a pasted email, a signature block, or rows copied from a spreadsheet. Each one is matched to the right person and filed. Anything it cannot place with confidence is listed for you rather than guessed at.
Drop files here, or browse
Any type. Several at once is fine.
