ARC Future Fellowships (FT15) Rejoinders now open in RMS

The ARC has released the Assessor reports for FT15 and the Rejoinder Process is now open in RMS.

All applicants are strongly urged to submit a rejoinder. This is your final opportunity to engage with the ARC College and advance your case for funding. If you require advice or assistance, please contact us.

MRO staff are available to review your rejoinder.  

If you would like an internal review, please email your written rejoinder draft as a Word document attachment (maximum 5000 characters, including spaces) to arc@monash.edu by no later than 9am, MONDAY 19 OCTOBER. 

Due the high volume of work for the current Linkage Projects round, rejoinders received after this time cannot be reviewed.

To find your assessor comments for your FT15 proposal in RMS (detailed instructions attached):

1. Log in to RMS 2.0

2. Click on "Proposals" under Applicant Proposals

3. Click on the "Rejoinders" tab and select the scheme round from the drop down menu.

4. To view the assessment and rejoinder information, Click the "Edit" button.

5. Click on the Assessor link to view assessment text.

6. At the bottom of the page, enter the rejoinder text into the rejoinder field. Your rejoinder is limited to 5000 characters (including spaces). The text will become red if the character limit has been exceeded.

7. Once you have finished editing, click "Save" and "Submit to Research Office".  This submits the rejoinder to MRO.

8. Once received in RMS, MRO will submit your rejoinder to ARC by the deadline.
