Project Reporting 

Projects funded by the GWRDC are required to submit regular Progress Reports along with a Final Report and End of Project Financial Statement at the conclusion of the project.

Progress Reporting

A Progress Report is required at least twice a year for research projects funded by the GWRDC. This provides the GWRDC with the opportunity to assess the progress of the project against the agreed targets. The GWRDC may request a Progress Report at anytime during the course of a project.

Final Report

At the conclusion of each project a Final Report is required summarising the entire research project and providing recommendation for future efforts. Final Reports must be prepared in layman's terms and must contain information specified in the Final Report Guidelines. The GWRDC may withhold up to 15% of the total project funding pending receipt and approval of the Final Report.

PhD and Undergraduate Honours Reporting 

Research Organisations are required to submit annual Academic Progress Reports and Financial Statements, along with a Research Thesis and Financial Statement at the conclusion of the research scholarship.

Progress Reporting

An Academic Progress Report is required annually for research scholarships funded by the GWRDC exceeding one year. This provides the GWRDC with the opportunity to assess the performance of the Educational Research.

Financial Statements

A statement of all receipts and payments of GWRDC funds covering the year ended 30 June, is required as soon as possible after 30 June each year (no later than 30 September) for PhD and Honours Scholarships funded by the GWRDC.  In the final year, the statement shall be made up to, and provided within 3 months of the Completion Date.

The GWRDC may withhold the final instalment of the Scholarship Funds until the Research Organisation has notified the GWRDC that the Recipient has submitted to the Research Organisation for assessment a thesis or final research paper in relation to the Educational Research, or will do so within a reasonable time.

RITA Reporting
