Grant Forms and Resources

The following forms for research grants are important for administrative, auditing and legal purposes and are also designed to minimise risk to the University and UNE researchers.

Forms

Research Grant Approval Process - via the online PURE portal

All research grant submissions — whether UNE is the administering organisation submitting the application, or if UNE is a collaborating institution on the application being submitted elsewhere — must be approved by the relevant Faculty and Research Services.

Pure Guides can be accessed here.

Request for Legal Approval - Contract Approval Form (CAF)

The Contract Approval Form (CAF) is for research grant agreements and research consultancy agreements. This form is an instruction to the Legal Office that the agreement has Faculty approval, and is therefore ready to be signed by UNE. Please download the latest version of the form via the Legal Office Templates website.

Research Data Management

This guide provides an overview of research data management and teaches you how to store, cite and improve the discoverability of your data to give your research a boost.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The Australian Research Council (ARC) and the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) both have published policies on the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence in applications for their funding schemes.
