What should I do if a member of the team working on the grant goes on maternity or long term sick leave?
A. If staff essential to continuing the project are unable to work due to maternity leave or long term sickness, WCRF International will expect a temporary replacement to be sought and should also be informed of this. If it is not possible to find a replacement, WCRF International will consider suspending the grant and all funds would be frozen from this time until the person returns from maternity or long term sick leave. The grant would then be extended and would resume using the remaining funds. In the event that a staff member on maternity or long term sick leave does not return, you are responsible for the recruitment of a replacement member of staff to conclude the project. Please notify WCRF International as soon as you are aware of any of the above issues.
