be named on other ARC grant opportunity applications or active projects. All grant applications submitted through other ARC grant opportunities and all ARC grants held may be retained until the outcome of the ARC Centres of Excellence application is known.
4.25.              All named participants on a successful application must meet the project limit requirements before the Centre can start. Project limits can be met by relinquishing existing project(s), or relinquishing role(s) on existing projects, or withdrawing application(s) that would exceed the project limits. We reserve the right to determine which grants are to be relinquished.
4.26.              The Centre Director and CIs named on a successful full application may retain current ARC grants for active projects provided that:
          1. the full application clearly demonstrates and explains, to Our satisfaction, the overlap between the existing non-Centre grant activities and the proposed Centre research activities; and
         b.              funding for the existing non-Centre grant activities is not requested in the budget for the proposed Centre.
4.27.              An individual may be nominated as a Centre Director on one EOI application or full application. A person named as Centre Director may be nominated as a CI on no more than one additional EOI application or full application in the same ARC Centres of Excellence grant opportunity. The CI role must be relinquished should both full applications be successful.
4.28.              An individual may be nominated as a CI on a maximum of two EOI applications or full applications unless an individual is nominated as a Centre Director in which case section 4.27 [above] applies.
4.29.              It is Your responsibility to determine if applying for, or holding, a project under these guidelines will affect an individual researcher's eligibility for the other ARC grant opportunities as other ARC grant opportunities may have different project limits.
We reserve the right to change project and application limits in future grant opportunities.
