Attn LE19 Lead CIs:
If you wish to submit a 'Request
Not to Assess' for your ARC Proposal, please note that RNTAs must be received by the MRO <mro-applications@monash.edu>
ASAP.
Note that only one RNTA can be
submitted per proposal.
Where to find the RNTA form?
The RNTA form (.xlsx) can be
downloaded from here.
Who to Include/Exclude?
You do not need to list individuals
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.
Justifications
If you list someone on the ARC College of
Experts, you will need to provide a justification. In which case, please
note:
- 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).
Only in very extraordinary circumstances can you list more than three individuals on your RNTA, and doing so
would required a justification letter covering all named individuals.
