Submission of final reports

14 December 2018

When considering a new ARC application, remember that all named participants must have fulfilled their obligations in regard to all previously funded ARC projects, including the submission of Final Reports.

New functionality in our Research Management System (RMS) now prevents the submission of an application where any named participant is also a participant on a funded project that has an outstanding Final Report. This has been implemented to ensure that researchers, Administering Organisations and the ARC meet accountability and reporting obligations in the administration of publicly funded research.
