Can ATLAS support be requested for a continuation or follow-up of previously published research? Can such support be requested even if the previous publication was supported by ATLAS?

Yes, though the proposal should clearly indicate how the work is a major additional contribution to the previous work, and not simply an extension or continuation. ATLAS is intended to support completion of major works with significant impact in its field of study and/or more generally. All proposals must demonstrate the importance and new contributions of the work to be funded. ATLAS funds may not be requested to continue a project already funded, even if it remains incomplete after its initial ATLAS funding.
