About this page

This main search page of the Projects module is used to search for, view and manage Project core records. It allows you to create, track and manage the entire research grant lifecycle from notice of intent through to project completion.

The Projects module allows you to maintain and administer full details of any type of grant or research project.  The project may be funded or unfunded and it may include negotiated in-kind support as well as budget details.  Project records can source information such as action dates, personnel, and classifications from the core system module as well as directly link to other records in RME Ethics, Contracts, and Research Outputs to provide a complete picture of the project.

Project records can be created and maintained to monitor the status of a grant/project application, amounts applied and awarded, as well as project expenditure. Other details relevant to the project may also be recorded, such as classification codes, organisational affiliation, Significant Events, ethics requirements, review committees, time spent on unfunded projects, facilities, and any sign-off requirements.

A project may have one or more associated ethics clearance applications.  Ethics clearance details can be recorded and tracked within the projects module including the clearance dates and a summary of the full ethics application details.

The “research %” of the project may be recorded with details of the weighting of the project given to strategic, experimental, pure and applied research.

As staff transfer from one Institution to another, projects may also require transfer and these details may be maintained as part of the project file.  Transfer details may include any monies or contract transfers and details of any items which may be required by the new institution.
