Go to the Bulk Uploader (https://data.pointblue.org/science/projectmanager/bulk_uploader), select your project. You will only see projects that you have access to. The Add Researcher tool lets you fill in any missing names from your project that are referenced by the bulk upload. All records you upload will be evaluated as follows:
Does the researcher already exist in your project?
If the submitted fields (any combo of first name, last name, initials, and email address) are identical to a researcher in your project, the csv record will be skipped.Does the email address match a researcher in the system affiliated with any other project?
If a researcher email address matches one in the system, that person will be added to your project.If the person is not in the project or the system, a new researcher will be created and added to your project with as much or as little information you provide.
