Since the inception of the NISDRG program, various unanticipated pressures have impacted funded projects.
The restricted eligibility criteria for students including PhD students and Post-Doctoral candidates has hindered the recruitment efforts of previously funded projects.
To mitigate the challenges of recruiting project personnel, specifically Higher Degree Researchers (ie. PhD, Masters, Post Doc) students to undertake project activities, ONI requires a recruitment plan to be developed and uploaded to select post-award reports for funded Grants.
This recruitment plan will be reported on in the Grants six-monthly Progress report to advise ONI when personnel have been recruited or engaged, departed and any issues encountered with the recruitment of project personnel.
This template should be used as a guide to assist you in developing your recruitment plan.
