Administering your funding agreement
Most research funding obtained will be governed via a funding agreement. Our Research Office will facilitate this on behalf of Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service.
We must administer the funds for any health service staff who receive funding. This includes establishing a dedicated research cost centre to administer the funding.
Our Research Office can also help you develop financial reports for the acquittal of research funding (as required by the funder).
Please email SC_Research-Grants@health.qld.gov.au for help with this process.

You only need to do this if the research is happening at a Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service site.
Our Research Governance team may need several additional documents and letters of support that you may not already have.
These documents explain the process:
