Carry Forward Funds
The average Project Grant is funded for three years, however Project Grant funding may be awarded anywhere between one and five years. In most instances research is due to commence in January of the year which funding is awarded and conclude in December of the third or final (for tenure other than three years) year.

Project Grant Variations
Funding is awarded after a peer review assessment process. There are, however often extenuating circumstances which affect the original proposal to funding. In these cases a request for grant variation is required.

Requirements under previous Conditions of Award
The requirement for financial reporting for funding awarded under previous Conditions of Award varies form the requirement for the Deed of Agreement in that a yearly Statement of Acquittal is required. These reports are due by 30 June of the following year in which expenditure has occurred.

For funding allocated to Project Grants prior to 2001 claims for superannuation are identified as receipt and expenditure items on the reports. Payment for these claims is paid on request for all years other than the final year where the claim then becomes part of the final Acquittal. For example if unspent funds are identified at the end of a funding period and an Institution has unclaimed superannuation then the request to return those unspent funds will be less any unpaid claims.
For personnel supported on Project Grants commencing in 2001, the provision is made up of one or more quanta. These are provided as Personnel Support Packages (PSPs), which are designed to cover all salary and salary on-costs (eg payroll tax, workers compensation, leave loading, compulsory and contributory superannuation and long service leave). Therefore no claims are payable in relation to the above items for funding commencing in 2001.
Making Claims Against NHMRC Project Grants
Prior the use of Personnel Support Packages (PSPs) in 2001, payment of salaries on Project Grants were paid in accordance with NHMRC Salary Scales. These rates excluded all salary on costs and administrative overheads.
