Post Award Process

If successful, you will need to follow the mentioned steps here to access funds and to report the progress of your project.   

Accessing Funds

• You will need to create an engagement project record and attach your application in Symplectic Elements Impact module. Your Faculty Impact Officer can provide training on this.
• Once completed you will receive an email and award letter containing information on how to access funds and any conditions related to the award.
• Any unaccounted costs or underspends will be reclaimed at the end of your grant and re-used within further calls.
• No funding is available to cover any project overspend.

Monitoring and Reporting

You will be assigned a project monitor that will regularly check progress against agreed milestones. In addition, you will be required to submit a final report within three months of the end of the project. Such report will be in the format of a REF Impact Case study and must include:

• What the funds have been used for, progress against milestones, any deviations to the work plan and/or budget;
• How the funds have increased the impact of the initial research investment;
• Key outputs, outcomes and impacts and envisaged future applications, including the potential for further research and development.
