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.

3. Early Account Opening

Early account opening allows ‘early access’ to a UQ account for research projects, normally to facilitate project ramp-up activities. This early account opening occurs prior to the UQ Grant Record Letter (GRL) being issued. More information on Early Account Opening is available in the UQ Early Account Opening Troubleshooting Guide.
