If
you wish to submit a 'Request Not to Assess' for your ARC Proposal,
please note: - You do not need to list
individuals in an RNTA who will be excluded in virtue of the ARC's Conflict of Interest policy. In
particular:
- Individuals who have
or have had a contractual or employment arrangement with a
university, or any organisation that is named in the Proposal; or,
- Individuals who have
published with, held research funding with, or has been in a supervisory
relationship with an individual named in the Proposal; or,
- Individuals who own
shares in, or exercises control in a company or other organisation named
in the Proposal, or in which he/she has direct involvement.
- Only one request can be
submitted per proposal.
Justifications:
If you list more than three individuals on your RNTA,
or if you list someone on the ARC College of
Experts, you will need to provide a justification. In which case, please
note:
- If you believe that a
genuine reason exists as to why an individual should be excluded from
assessing the proposal, a statement must be submitted which clearly states
why this is the case. The statement should detail how the
relationship/situation constitutes a valid reason the named individual
should not assess the proposal. Some examples include previous and
current professional relationships and partnerships, personal
relationships, and instances where a material interest exists.
- Your justification statement must take the form of a
letter, which will need to be signed by Pauline Nestor (Monash DVCR). The
MRO has a letter template available for this purpose, available upon
request.
No justification is required
for an RNTA which lists three or fewer individuals (and no one on the
ARC's College of Experts).
