Does the Vice Chancellor have to sign the form?
The Vice Chancellor, or in the event of incapacity a nominated deputy, must sign applications for funds in both competitions and failure to do so will result in proposals being rejected. Back to top 20. Competition A does not include staff costs, so why do I have to state what specific steps will be taken to ensure that all research staff working with the new equipment complies with the research careers concordat? The Concordat is a clear joint commitment by universities and research funders to make much needed improvement in the management of contract research staff. The JREI is a major investment of public funds in universities research capacity. As a result, the research funders expect to see serious thought being given to the management of staff who will be employed to work with the additional equipment.
