FAQs

What does 'apportioning' mean and how is it calculated?

This allows us to allocate values, such as project budget, among the academics involved. 

Each proposal submission (including subprojects) must have credit applied across its investigators totalling 100%: 

  • each project should be allocated some of the percentage credit
  • credit per project should only be applied to academics based in the same department as the project 
  • the percentage credit is not necessarily representative of time spent on a project 

If a proposal is awarded, the percentage credit will feed through into the award in ICIS Grants. This can be amended as necessary as long as the award total is 100%. 

For projects (under the umbrella of the award) where the total may be less than 100%, the project is apportioned according to the percentage applied. 

For example, a project has three investigators with credit percentages of 15%, 5% and 0% respectively. 

While this only totals 20% of the total award credit, 100% of the project values will be shared between those investigators with credit, as follows: 15% (of the project 20%) will give 75% project apportionment, 5% (of the project 20%) will give 25% apportionment and 0% will have none. 

Where no credit has been given on a project at all, the project will be apportioned equally among all active investigators. 

Where can I find non-P code data?

The Research Office does not hold any Finance (non-P code), HR, IP or Registry data. Your local Finance teams would be able to help with F, G or N code queries.

How do I gain access to the Operational Dashboards?

Access to the operational dashboards is automatically allocated based on an individual’s responsibilities within ICIS.  If you have a responsibility starting with any of the following, you will automatically have access to the dashboards and to the relevant projects for your area: 

  • IC GRANTS FACULTY 
  • IC GRANTS DIVISION
  • IC GRANTS DEPARTMENT 

Access requests to the relevant projects / areas in ICIS should be submitted through ICIS Authorisation for approval. 

If you are unable to access these reports but believe you have the relevant responsibilities, please email the Research Office. 

How do I gain access to the Strategic Dashboards?

To be eligible you should belong to one of these business areas: 

  • Senior College Management 
  • Faculty Management 
  • Faculty Finance 
  • Research Strategy
  • Strategic Planning 
  • Heads of Department 
  • Department Heads of Research 
  • Department Operations Managers 
  • Research Operations Managers 
  • Central Finance
