Coversheet for External Research Funding

Faculty of Health Sciences

Coversheet approval and peer review process

1. The researcher completes the online coversheet. Complete all mandatory fields (marked with an asterisk) and click the "Submit" button. An email will be generated to the Faculty's Senior Research Development Officer (SRDO), and is copied to the researcher. The researcher emails the draft proposal to the SRDO Stephen Chambers (s.chambers@latrobe.edu.au).
2. If required, the researcher and the SRDO can work together on the draft proposal.
3. The researcher arranges an internal peer review of the proposal. For Category 1 applications (i.e. NHMRC, ARC grants ) this should be organised in conjunction with the A/Dean Research, and the Faculty's peer review panel. Incorporate comments provided by the reviewers, and SRDO.
4. The researcher then emails the coversheet, including the budget where required, and final proposal to their Head of School (HoS).
5. The HoS approves the proposal and forwards the coversheet and the proposal to the A/Dean Research for approval, copying the researcher.
6. The A/Dean Research sends the proposal to the SRDO.
7. The SRDO and Researcher finalise and submit the proposal to the funding body.

Please note that final approval must reach the SRDO at least three working days before the funding closing date.
