Award of Grant

After notification that a grant has been successful (and the elation that follows) what follows shortly is the question "Now what do I do?" If a researcher has been contacted directly by the funding body, the Research Grants Office should be notified of success. With many of the larger funding schemes, the Research Grants Office will receive results directly from the funding body, and will inform the researcher, either by an email to the Research Announcements list or by letter.

Who signs the funding body acceptance of offer form?

It is imperative that all researchers read any conditions of award regarding the grant. The Research Grants Office organises the signing of all agreements between funding bodies and the University. Researchers, Heads of Schools, Deans etc are not permitted to sign contracts or agreements on behalf of UWA. Researchers should never enter into or sign an agreement or contractual obligation without consulting the Research Grants Office. In some cases, intellectual property rights, legal liabilities or financial arrangements may need to be negotiated and this should be done by the Research Grants Office in consultation with the researcher.

UWA Acceptance of Offer Form (Green Form)

Having read the conditions of award and having all agreements signed and in place, the researcher will then be in a position to complete and sign the Acceptance of Offer (known widely as the 'Green form'). This form will also need to be signed off by the Head of School or Centre. Please note that if the researcher is a student, the supervisor must co-sign the Acceptance. Also, if the Head of School is an investigator, the Dean must sign in place of the Head of School.

The Acceptance of Offer form and required codes can be located at:

Lodgement of Acceptances

Receipt of the completed, signed 'Green Form' in the Research Grants Office indicates that the researcher has read and accepts the conditions of award. The Form should be forwarded to the Research Grants Office in a timely fashion along with any accompanying documentation which could include:

  • Ethics Clearances
  • notification from the funding body of award
  • contract
  • correspondence
  • conditions of award
  • funding body acceptance of offer

Researchers are advised to retain a copy of the conditions of award as well as a copy of the 'Green Form'

Details of the award will be sent to the Publishing Office for future publication in UWANews if the researcher has agreed to this on the Green form.
