Information for STFC Grant Holders

Post Award administration

The Research Grants Handbook (pre-fEC handbook (link opens in a new window) for grants announced on or before 31 March 2006, or fEC handbook for grants applied for after September 2005) is intended to give clear guidance and information to all applicants and those responsible for the post award administration of grants, including the responsibilities of grant holders.

• See Section 6 for guidance on post award administration
  
• See Section 7 for evaluation and final reports
  
• See Section 8 for Exploitation of results and dissemination of information
  
• See Section 9 for the core terms and conditions of all research grants

The Je-S status reporting interface allows Research Organisations (RO) to view details of their portfolio of current grants. Details of a grant are displayed once an announcement letter has been issued to the RO and will remain until all actions (for both the RO and Council) are complete. The RO Master ID can allocate access to the data to other Je-S users at that organisation.

Final reports

STFC attaches great importance to evaluating and monitoring results of the research it supports and will require a Final Scientific Report on the outcome of a research grant. Interim reports may also be required on some STFC grants. The forms are available on the Je-S system with the exception of Facility Development Project Grants which are available online.

• It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator to complete the report within three months of the end date of the award.
  
  
• Failure to submit a Final Report within the period allowed may result in financial penalties to the final total value of the award.
  
  
• Principal Investigators are advised to follow the guidance, including STFC specific guidance, on how to complete the Final or Interim report before submitting their completed report through the Je-S system.

Grants on the Web

This facility allows simple drill-down queries and searches against a database of all current STFC research grants. The database is updated fortnightly. It is possible to search by institution, department, region, person, keyword or research area.

Research Grant statistics
