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 Research Development team, copied to the researcher. The researcher emails a copy of the draft proposal to the Senior Research Development Officer for the Faculty, Renee Alford (r.alford@latrobe.edu.au).
2. If required, the researcher and the SRDO can work together on the proposal.
3. Once the proposal is near to complete, the researcher contacts his/her HOS to discuss the requirements of the School’s peer review process.
4. When the peer review process has occurred, the researcher emails his/her copy of the coversheet to his/her HOS, attaching the penultimate proposal.
5. The HOS forwards the coversheet and the proposal to the Dean, noting his/her approval/rejection of the project, copying the relevant HOD and the ADR.
6. The Dean forwards the coversheet and the proposal to the SRDO, noting his approval/rejection of the project, copying the researcher.
7. The researcher and the SRDO finalise the proposal, and the SRDO submits the finalised proposal to the funding body.
