Consultancy/Funding Application Outcomes

There are a number of steps in the acceptance process and the Research Office is there to provide advice and facilitation of these types of processes. The Research Office is responsible for developing and maintaining the policy and procedures for the management of externally funded grants, consultancies and research contracts.

Research Office support includes the Research Support Networks (RSN), Research Development Forums, training seminars and workshops, “How To” papers, advice on strategic issues, University policies and procedures, delegation issues and College research facilitation.

Specific training in ANU contracts is available from the LegalOffice who are also available to provide advice to Local Area Business Offices on specific contract related issues, including advice on negotiation and advice on amending specific clauses.

The applicant will be advised of funding outcome. If the application is successful the Acceptance Procedure will be triggered, this process is to be used for Consultancy work also.  If an application is unsuccessful the outcome needs to be entered into ARIES. Please refer to Acceptance procedures flowchart for a diagrammatic summary.

These procedures must be followed by University administrators for the review, negotiation and acceptance of offers for externally funded grants and consultancies to be managed by the ANU.

This guide applies specifically to research agreements and contracts as described in the Externally-funded Grants, Consultancies and Contracts Policy and the relevant University Procedures.
