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.
8. Reporting
Managing grant reports is important for researchers to maintain compliance and transparency in their funding activities. Reporting requirements vary significantly across different funders, including major bodies like the Australian Research Council (ARC), National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF), as well as various other funders.
Each funder specifies distinct guidelines regarding financial expenditure, progress updates, and outcomes achieved through awarded grants. Researchers must track expenditures, adhere to specific timelines for reporting, and provide detailed narratives on the impact of their research.
Reporting Requirements for Major Bodies are available on their website:
Australian Research Council (ARC)
National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC)
Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF)
