== If you are a Project Owner / Lead == 

If you would like help creating and populating your project:
 1. Please email [mailto:help@geni.net help@geni.net] with the name of the existing project you would like to transition.

To create and populate your project yourself:
 1. After requesting to be a project lead and creating a project, ask the other members of your project to create an account following the [#CreateandconfigureyourPortalAccount steps above].
 2. Once your members have created their accounts, add these members to your project by either:
    a. Bulk add the members of your project (using the ''Bulk Add New Members'' button on the Slice page).
    b. Have each member request to join your project (using the button on the Home page).
