Accepting and managing your grant

If you receive a grant offer directly, forward it to Research Development and Support (RDS) immediately so the acceptance process can begin. Although offers are addressed to individual researchers, grants are legally awarded to the University and must be accepted by a delegated authority.

To accept a grant offer, all terms and conditions need to be confirmed. You will do this via an electronic form provided by RDS.

Accessing and managing your funds

Grant funds can only be accessed after both the acceptance and all associated agreements are finalised. Finance is responsible for account establishment, raising invoices and preparing all financial reports.

Reporting requirements

The Chief Investigator is responsible for all reporting milestones, as per the agreements associated with grants. All milestones are entered into Service One, and when finalised should be completed in Service One. If milestones are not completed, this may delay future payments.
