Discovery Indigenous Certification

Proposals for Discovery Indigenous to be funded in 2013 must be electronically submitted via the ARC Research Management System (RMS) by the Administering Organisation. The Administering Organisation will electronically certify the Proposal submission, in accordance with Section 10.4 of the Discovery Indigenous Funding Rules for funding commencing in 2013.

For funding commencing in 2013
The Administering Organisation is no longer required to obtain handwritten signatures to attest to the agreement of all parties necessary to allow the proposed project to proceed, as specified in the Funding Rules. Instead, the Administering Organisation will certify online in the Proposal (in the RMS) that they have obtained the written agreement of all parties necessary to allow the proposed project to proceed. The ARC reserves the right to seek the evidence from the Administering Organisation to support the certification of Proposals.

The Administering Organisation may use the following proforma to assist in meeting the requirement of obtaining written evidence of agreement. The use of this proforma is not mandatory.
