Affiliate a Project with CWRU

When you sign up or sign in through the institutional sign in, your OSF account gains the ability to affiliate projects with CWRU. Any project you make can have institutional affiliation toggled on or off at your discretion.

To affiliate a project with CWRU, on the project's top-level page, simply click the "Affiliations" link under the title or navigate to Settings -> Project Affiliation / Branding.
