Topic 2: Grant-holder responsibilities
With the award of research funding comes the expectation that grant holders will comply with research-related institutional policies and that, as a named investigator, you will be responsible for carrying out the project in a timely and financially responsible manner and acknowledge the source of funds when the findings are published. In seeking research funding you will be expected to recognise when conflicts of interest are present and be aware when a conflict of effort could arise to prevent you devoting appropriate time to each project you are pursuing.
