The Grant Registration Team (GRT) in UCD Research & Innovation manage the review of funders' award documentation, Terms and Conditions and industry agreements. If the award documentation and Terms and Conditions are non-standard, or if no award documentation is available, the GRT will liaise with the relevant support units (UCD Legal, NovaUCD and the Research Finance Office) on behalf of the Principal Investigator, in relation to the documentation that needs to be put in place.
The contract review process can take some time, depending on the complexity of the award documentation to be put in place. Types of agreements include:
Several versions of the document(s) may be reviewed before agreement is reached.
All contracts must be signed by the authorised legal signatory in UCD. The GRT will organise this on behalf of the PI. A PI signature is not legally binding and may delay the process. Further information on the Contract Review Process can be found here: Contract review process managed by the Grant Registration Team (GRT)
EU Horizon Europe Grant Preparation
All stages of the grant preparation for your Horizon Europe project are now carried out on the EU Research Participant Portal. Support is available for the completion of the EU Portal data.
Steps involved in the Grant Preparation stage of EU Horizon Europe projects:
EU Consortium Agreement
The EU 'Consortium Agreement (CA)' is an internal agreement between members of the consortium, to set out their internal arrangements for implementing the grant. In Horizon Europe projects, the partners must prepare a Consortium Agreement (CA), unless otherwise stipulated in the call for proposals. The DESCA Consortium Agreement template is recommended for use in all UCD Horizon Europe projects. The Horizon Europe Guide for establishing a Consortium Agreement can be found here.
Further information on this process can be found here.
