Developing People and Organisations grants.
Administration of Grants:
1.) Grants are normally administered through the organisation on whose behalf the application is submitted, in which an individual applicant is employed. In either case confirmation of the organisation's willingness to accept responsibility for the work to be undertaken and for administering the grant is a pre-condition to an award. Where an applicant is not employed in an established organisation he or she may be asked to make special arrangements for sponsorship.
Application
2.) The application for grant shall include a full description of the project and details of its estimated duration and cost. The application shall be based on current costs. The applicant may request increases to any grant awarded to cover price increases or other contingencies that may occur during its tenure.
Staff
3.) The Council shall be informed of the grade, qualifications and proposed salary of any staff expected to work on the project.
4.) The administering organisation shall accept full responsibility as employer for all the staff engaged on the project. The Council will not indemnify the organisation against claims for compensation or other claims for which the latter may become liable as employer.
Equipment
5.) The administering organisation shall take all reasonable steps to satisfy itself that equipment is purchased at fair and reasonable prices.
Travel Expenses and Subsistence
6.) Travelling expenses and subsistence necessarily incurred in connection with the project will be eligible for grant at the normal rates allowed by the administering organisation. Payment should be made direct to the persons concerned and the amounts paid should be included in the next account rendered.
Management and Reports
7.) Any grant awarded by the Council is given on the understanding that it is to be used specifically for the purposes of the project submitted by the applicant.
8.) At the conclusion of the grant, unless the Council determines otherwise, the grant holder shall submit to Andrea Tilouche, a report on the progress of the project.
9.) Under its Statement of Purpose, the Council is committed to generate and disseminate research-based evidence to inform and influence policy and practice. To implement the statement the Council has reviewed its publications policy and decided to disseminate more widely the knowledge gained from its research and action projects. This will be done principally by:
- publishing a series of lay summaries entitled Alcohol Insights;
- making reports more accessible to researchers.
10.) It is a requirement of any grant that the Grant Holder will provide a report in a standard form and draft an Alcohol Insight.
General
11.) The Council reserves the right to attach any specific conditions to the making of a grant and at any time to terminate an award subject to reasonable notice and payment of such final instalment as may be necessary to cover outstanding and unavoidable commitments.
12.) The conditions and the arrangements for the administrations of a grant are set out in a formal agreement between the Council, the grant holder and the grant administrator. This covers the responsibilities of each party and matters such as the submission of reports and financial management.
Payment of Grant
13.) Unless the Council determines otherwise payment of grant will be made quarterly in arrears on the basis of claims submitted by the administering organisation on the forms provided. Accounts should be rendered at the end of each quarter to Andrea Tilouche.
