What CI’s should have read • NHMRC Funding Rules • NHMRC Advice and Instructions • NHMRC Peer Review Guidelines • NHMRC Category Descriptors (re-worded)
What CI’s should have done • By now CI should have created /updated Profile and CV in RGMS. • Looked at the list of CV/Profile requirements per scheme on MRO webpage. • Lodged a Notice of Intent (mandatory UOM requirement)
Simplified MR submission process • UOM Lodgement Coversheet (writable PDF) to be emailed with draft application for review. No signatures required at this time. • No final hard copy of NHMRC application required. Only UOM Authority to Submit (ATS) form (writable PDF) to be delivered to MR when final application has been certified. Can use electronic signatures, must be fully signed, have CI and/or AI email approvals attached.
