Acceptable forms for acknowledgement of ONI funding

ONI Grant Agreements require that any ONI contribution to research and other activities be appropriately acknowledged.

The Administering Organisation must ensure (wherever possible) that ONI's contribution and support of the project is acknowledged in a prominent place and in an appropriate form when, at any time during or after completion of a project, the researcher or any other party publishes or produces material such as books, articles, newsletters or other literary or artistic works which relate to the Project. The acknowledgement should ONI as a funding entity and where the Research Output is a publication, the relevant Project ID must also be included.

Similar efforts should be made to acknowledge ONI funding support when participating in television and radio programs, and when interviewed by the print media. In publicising ONI’s funding support, researchers and other parties must ensure that the publication does not lead the audience to believe that any views or messages being conveyed are those held by the Australian Government or ONI (unless ONI has formally endorsed such views/messages).

Wherever possible, the ONI logo should be included with acknowledgements of ONI funding. Logo requests should be directed to media.liaison@oni.gov.au.

Researchers and/or institutions should use their discretion in adapting one of the examples of acceptable forms of acknowledgement of ONI funding listed below to suit the medium in which the research will be featured.

Examples:

In general, wording to the following effect is recommended:

  • "This research was funded (partially or fully) by the Australian Government through the Office of National Intelligence."
  • "Professor/Dr XXXX is the recipient of an Office of National Intelligence funded - National Intelligence and Security Discovery Research Grant (project number XXXX) funded by the Australian Government."
  • "This research was conducted by the Office of National Intelligence funded - National Intelligence and Security Discovery Research Grant program – for XXXX (project number XXXX) and funded by the Australian Government."

However, in cases where the material or publication contains a message or view which could possibly be interpreted as being that of the ONI, and which has not been officially endorsed by the ONI as such, the following form of attribution is required:

  • "This research was supported (partially or fully) by the Australian Government through the Office of National Intelligence’s funded - National Intelligence and Security Discovery Research Grant program (project XXXX). The views expressed herein are those of the authors and are not necessarily those of the Australian Government or the Office of National Intelligence."
  • "This research was conducted by the Office of National Intelligence funded - National Intelligence and Security Discovery Research Grant program for XXXX (project number XXXX). The views expressed herein are those of the authors and are not necessarily those of the Australian Government or the Office of National Intelligence."
