Board Communique June 2024
Dear Members
Principals Australia Research Foundation Ltd’s (PARF) Board met via Teamsmeet on Thursday 23 May. The agenda included two key items:
1. Payment & Accounting Administration
2. Research and Development Funding.
Payment & Accounting Administration
The Board resolved that Angela Falkenberg be added as an authorised signatory for approving and authorising payments.
The Board confirmed that Lucent Accounting’s contract be extended for the current year.
Research and Development Funding- Out of Program Funding
The Board resolved not to allow out of program applications for research and development funding as such funding would not be consistent with PARF’s published funding guidelines.
However, the application highlighted how circumstances can provide opportunities for research. In response, the Board will consult with the Members to seek input to assist the Board to develop a policy that allows for consideration of applications for research funding that may arise due to unforeseen or fortuitous opportunities.
The Board received a progress report from the Tasmanian Principals Association on the current research project.
Research and Development Funding Applications 2025 close Friday 23 August. For more information contact the research funding program manager: admin@parf.org.au
