Grant Agreements
9.6.                  You must enter into a grant agreement with Us to receive a grant.
9.7.                  We use the ARC Centres of Excellence grant agreement which contains standard terms and conditions that cannot be changed. A sample grant agreement is available on GrantConnect. The ARC Act may be amended during this grant opportunity process. If so, We may amend the ARC Centres of Excellence grant agreement to comply with the amendments to the ARC Act. Any special conditions attached to the grant will be identified in the grant offer.
9.8.                  You will have 30 calendar days from the date of offer to execute the grant agreement.
9.9.                  We must execute a grant agreement with You before We can make any payments. We are not responsible for any Centre expenditure until a grant agreement is executed. You must not start any ARC Centre of Excellence activities until a grant agreement is executed and agreements are in place with all Other Eligible Organisations and Partner Organisations contributing to the Centre and You notify the ARC, unless otherwise specified in the grant agreement.
9.10.              Once You have executed the grant agreement, but prior to all Other Eligible Organisations and Partner Organisations executing agreements with You, You may expend up to $100,000 of the grant funding in the first year of the Centre to assist in the establishment of the Centre. Further information is available in the Establishment Toolkit—ARC Centres of Excellence document on the ARC website.

9.12.              If the grant amount awarded is less than 90% of that requested in the full application, You may make pro rata adjustments to the stated contributions of the Administering, Other Eligible and/or Partner Organisation contributions. These adjusted contributions must not be at a level lower than the value of the ARC grant as a proportion of the requested funding.
9.13.              If You enter an agreement for an ARC grant, You cannot receive other grants for the same activities from other Commonwealth, State or Territory granting programs.
