The Office of Research Services coordinates the review of the terms of the contract being offered with the funding. Researchers and Heads of School are asked to review such components as the credit split, infrastructure costs and milestone dates and obligations. Legal Office and Finance and Business Services will also review the contract. There is ongoing communication between the Office of Research Services and the researcher for any changes required
Once the contract has been fully signed (ie by both the University and the funding body), a copy of the contract is sent to Finance and Business Services. They will open an account and email you details regarding the project number and the account lines. A copy of the contract will also be placed on the central tracking system (TRIM) and the 1st named Chief Investigator will be given a copy.
The database that holds information about your milestone dates will also generate a reminder for an upcoming report. Once you acknowledge receipt of that email, the reminders will stop being generated. You can review the details of your various awards through WARP
If you wish to vary the terms (including reporting dates); either at the point of acceptance or during the term of the grant, please contact the Grants Officer for your School to assist with this task. It is important to keep the funding body and Finance and Business Services informed.
If you as an investigator on any research project are leaving the
University, or commencing employment with UTAS, please let us help make Transferring Funding as smooth as possible.
