PROJECT PARTIES

1 (a) Project Parties

Project Parties are participants party to the Project Agreement, contributing cash and/or in-kind to the project. Typically, parties to the Project Agreement receive some cash funding and/or are significantly involved in developing Project IP through contributing to research design, operationalisation, analysis and dissemination.




PROJECT PARTIES

1 (b) Project Parties / Other Parties

Other Parties are participants engaged via MOUs/Third Party Agreements to provide in-kind contributions (mostly end-users). The parties typically assist with recruitment and/or dissemination of findings and not in the development of Project IP.






PLAN


2 (a) Proposed Strategy




2 (b) Environmental Scan



3. Project Milestones and Deliverables

At minimum, there should be a Project milestone for every three months of the project. These need to be detailed enough for the Research Office to monitor progress project reporting.

Deliverables should also include ethical clearance by all organisations as an early milestone.

If there are MOUs include signature of all MOUs as a preliminary milestone for the research project leader.

Note: CRC Program-related Milestones to be entered by Program Directors.

    In accordance with the EPA, access to large capital items must be valued proportionally to the usage by the CRC and based on the running costs and depreciation of the capital item, as agreed between the contributing Participant and the Board. See Attachment C for Guidelines for In-kind contributions.
