Amendments to ARC reporting requirements: The ARC has introduced annual project reporting by exception for all grants.
Commencing in 2013, reporting on progress for ALL ARC-funded projects is to be by exception, due by the 31st of March each year.
An Exception Report on Progress – ARC-funded Research - must be submitted only if there are significant issues affecting the progress of a project during the last calendar year.
A significant issue can be taken to have arisen in circumstances in which:
These examples are not exhaustive and are not meant to be prescriptive – Project Leaders should exercise judgement as to the need to submit an Exception Report, on a case-by-case basis.
Please note that where issues arise for a project that require a request for approval to be made to the ARC, the request must be submitted through the appropriate channel – for example, an End of Year Report for carryover of funds, or a Variation to Funding Agreement request for changes to investigators or organisations, or transfer of a project or Fellowship – and not as part of progress reporting.
The Exception report on Progress template is available https://www.research.uwa.edu.au/staff/forms/funding
Exception reports on Progress should be submitted electronically to [email protected]
