In cases where two-digit FoRs appear in multiple clusters do institutions need to submit a Background Statement for each cluster?

There are three two-digit FoRs that cross clusters: Technology (10), Medical and Health Sciences (11), and Built Environment and Design (12). For each of these, institutions will be able to provide two Background Statements, with the text of the statement that is prepared for one cluster being different to that of the second cluster. This will, in effect, enable institutions to ensure that Research Evaluation Committees are given appropriate contextual information about research being undertaken in FoRs which are cross-disciplinary in scope.
