Submission also signifies that the RO accepts the terms and conditions of Research Council fEC Grants, the MRC additional terms and conditions and any award-specific terms and conditions, as specified on the award letter, for the entire life of the award.
Administrative authorities have responsibility for ensuring that the salaries and resources cited in the proposals are sufficient to undertake the proposed research, to attract sufficiently experienced and skilled staff, and represent good value for money.
