All staff are eligible to be nominated, either as individuals or as members of a group.
Examples include travel, funding to attend courses or conference, purchase of resources or equipment, job time release to enable developmental activity to be pursued, or hiring of research assistance. The integrity of the awards will be maintained by careful application of the eligibility criteria. The Vice-Chancellor retains the right not to approve the granting of any or all of the available awards should the quality or number of nominations be insufficient. Grants are held by the Financial Services Division and are released after the appropriate Head of Department has approved the plans or methods of expenditure. A condition of the Award is that the grant is used within one year of its presentation.
