During the life of some projects, unforeseen changes or issues may arise that require a variation. It is important to keep FRDC across changes to project contacts, budget or deliverables. Requests should be made prior to the relevant deliverable due date.
All variations should be sent to frdc.programs@frdc.com.au, with the project number as the ‘subject’.
Project deliverables
Changes to a deliverable due date, deliverable detail, or deliverable financial amount can be either submitted as part of the deliverable Report (using the FRDC Deliverable Template) or directly to FRDC via email. When requesting a variation, the Principal Investigator (PI) must provide sufficient details and justification for FRDC's consideration.
Project contacts
Any changes to the project contacts during the life of the project need to be confirmed in writing. Required details of new contacts include:
- Name
- Title
- Position
- Company/Organisation
- Address
- Phone/fax
- Email address
Intellectual Property (IP)
While IP classification is determined at the start of a project, it can change during the course of a project. If the PI or research organisation believes a project classification should be changed, they need to contact FRDC to discuss.
