[Usyd-research-announce] Research Office Bulletin 3 December 2010

[Research Grants]

General news 

 

The new Research Support <http://sydney.edu.au/research_support/>
website is set to replace the Research Office and Ethics websites. 

Its aim is to provide researchers and those who assist them with a
single source for information relating to developing research proposals
and finding sources of funding, managing research grants, contracts and
consultancies and complying with conditions, disseminating the outcomes
of their research and managing their intellectual property, and
reporting as required.

The old sites will be taken offline before Christmas: it's time to
update your bookmarks now.
