Information for Decision on Research-Funding Applications

  • An internal decision must be made on the submission of a research application to the funding body. The Head of School or the Vice-Chancellor makes this decision after the application has been presented to the Advisory Council to the Vice-Chancellor (RL) or the Advisory Council to the School (IL). As the main researcher, you need to support your application by completing this form, which you then submit for a decision

    Prepare Your Application

    As the main applicant (project manager), you must fill in this form (Steps 1-2 in the above tabs).

    In the form, you need to upload the application budget as well as an internal financial calculation. Please also attach other parts of the application to the extent they are complete. The information/documents you submit using this form are registered automatically in the diariet. The other parts of the application you yourself must register at a later date.

    The deadline for submission of the form is usually seven days before the next upcoming meeting. See future meeting times in BeHDa.

    As things stand right now, you must complete the form in one sitting (that is to say, you cannot save sections and return to the form later to work on it further). Therefore, we suggest you do the following before you begin filling out the form:

    1. Print out a copy of the form in advance so that you can prepare your answers at your own pace:   Information for Decision on Research-Funding Applications (pdf)
    2. Prepare the documents to be included with the application:
      - the application budget
      - internal financial calculation

    You work on the financial documents with the Financial Officer for your school. More information can be found on the Research Support webpage on the staff website: Financial Aspects and Audits - Research Projects.
