[Usyd-research-announce] NHMRC - Research Grants Management System (RGMS)

[Research Grants]

The Research Grants Management System, or RGMS is NHMRC's new online
system for lodging grant applications, managing the assessment of
applications, and managing grants once awarded. 

RGMS is replacing Informed-Filler and NHMRC's current grants management
system, RMIS (Research Management Information System).

 

*         Researchers will use RGMS to lodge applications for all NHMRC
funding schemes except Australia Fellows* and NHMRC EU Collaborative
Health Research Grants. 

*         Researchers who hold NHMRC grants will be able to manage their
grants on-line using RGMS. 

*         All researchers involved in NHMRC's peer-review processes will
also do this through RGMS.

 

There will be little difference in the information needed to complete an
application compared to previous requirements. However, the look and
functionality of RGMS is completely different from your NHMRC grant
application and management experience of the past.  Any changes in the
information required from last year will mainly be due to changes in the
funding policy. 

 

If you already hold an active grant with NHMRC, you will automatically
be provided with an RGMS account. You will be sent an e-mail on 17
December, containing information telling you how to activate your
account and: 

 

*	access the system; 
*	fill out the areas of the 'Profile and CV' relevant to your
scheme (a list of these will be available in the system from users' home
screen); 
*	start an application; and
*	access the guide to applicants for the scheme you are applying
for.

 

All RAOs will also automatically be provided with an RGMS account. 

 

If you don't currently hold an active NHMRC grant, instructions on how
to get an RGMS account will be available on the NHMRC website at
http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/grants/rgms on 17 December 2009.  You will be
able to request a new RGMS account through RGMS's automated
login/password function called 'RGMS Identity Manager'.
