Aims and Scope:
As part of their enrolment in the Doctoral units, students have access to funds to help facilitate recruitment in their research projects. These funds are to a maximum of $500 over the duration of their enrolment.
Application Procedure:
Students should discuss their plans with their Research Supervisors in the first instance to ensure that the funds are employed in the best way possible given the particular needs of their research projects.
Following this, students should fill in the Research Funds Application Form. On this form students should give a clear but brief account of what they would like to utilise their funds for and how this will be a benefit to their research. The supervisor’s information is input by the student (the supervisor must have a Cairnmillar email account). Once approved by the supervisor and the course coordinator, the student will receive an email with an application ID. This ID will be used to claim the funds on the Research Expense Reimbursement Claim Form.
Once the form has been approved by all parties, the student has approval to be reimbursed for funds up to the value they have specified and for the purpose they have specified on the Research Funds Application Form. In order for reimbursement to occur, students need to complete the Research Expense Reimbursement claim form. Please note: application ID, bank account details and proof of payment must be included in the reimbursement claim.
Otter transcript usage
An online transcription service, Otter, can be accessed by CMI staff and students. We have two Otter licenses and therefore you need to book a session if you want to use this software. Please email Camilla Nicoll (camilla.nicoll@Cairnmillar.edu.au) to schedule access to the Otter software. Access to Otter will be made available to you for one day at a time. At the end of each booked day, your account and all files will be deleted. Therefore, please ensure you save/backup all your files onto your Cairnmillar OneDrive account at the end of the day and delete any files from your Otter account.
