Manage your award
The Awards team in the Research Office manages all funded research grants from the time a grant notification outcome is received through to when it finishes (i.e. close-out).
When a funder approves an application, they will require an agreement to be executed, which binds the University to the terms and conditions of the grant. This can involve negotiation, which the Research Office will do on your behalf.
There are a number of steps that typically occur; these are outlined below to assist you navigate the grant establishment process.
2. Acceptance of Offer
An Acceptance of Offer is usually needed when a funder requires formal acceptance from UQ or the Lead CI. The lead Chief Investigator will be prompted by the Research Office should an acceptance of offer form be required.
For us to advise accordingly, please inform the Research Office as soon as you are notified that you have been successful in securing external research funding
Once your grant is accepted, the Research Office will manage the relationship between UQ, the funder and external partners.
If Ethics clearances are required for your project, please visit the Ethics team website for more information.
Once all required clearances are received by the Research Office, agreements are finalised, and any special conditions are met, the successful grant can be activated at UQ. This involves issuing a Grant Record Letter (GRL) by the Research Office.
