Project* excuse the typo!
Hi all
Adjunct in Australia means honorary/unpaid – I have one of these positions.
I am looking to apply for grants for project based work and wanted some insight into how it generally works. I know first step is ask the grants office usually and I should speak to academics at the uni/department I’m at but they are so busy they never even sleep, and I appreciate this forum. It’s not research based but a project to create educational resources.
Do unis absorb grant funding usually? I’ve heard they ‘take’ up to 30%? Fully cognisant that my adjunct position is a give-and-take/mutual benefit, and I get lots out of it including reputation as a uni lecturer plus use of university systems and resources. However hard to justify giving it to the uni and not spending it on what was promised.
Probably defined to the Australian context but would like a heads up if possible before I approach my uni, if anyone has the time!
