E9.3 Collaboration
E9.3.1 The research infrastructure, where appropriate, will be located at the Administering Organisation and be listed in its assets register, unless otherwise approved by the ARC.
E9.3.2 The Proposal must set out, as agreed by each organisation named on the Proposal:
- the terms and conditions of access for participants on the Proposal;
- the terms and conditions of access for researchers not associated with the Proposal; and
- details of the arrangements and costs of managing the research infrastructure (including any recurrent expenditure) and how any costs will be distributed.
E9.3.3 Where the research infrastructure requested is proposed to be located in more than one organisation, the Proposal must demonstrate clearly that:
- the facilities are genuinely integrated and collaborative;
- the items of research infrastructure are complementary; and
- the overall research outcomes will be enhanced by this arrangement.
