The placement of the grant logo on all grant products must be approved by the Foundation before final production. Once you’ve finished your design, please email it (or a screenshot for website use) to the our Grants Manager for final approval.
Keep us informed
We're interested in the progress and outcome of your project and ask that you keep us informed. Get in touch if there are changes to your project or key staff, or if we can support the project through our communications channels, in-house expertise or other networks.
Progress and acquittal report templates can be accessed through SmartyGrants. Reports are submitted via this platform.
For grants funded prior to July 2019 (General Grants), please contact the Grants Manager for the acquittal report template.
Report on your project
We want to know how your project went, so require recipients to submit a final report on completion. This report can be found in your SmartyGrants portal.
Meet ethical standards
In undertaking any research project funded through Victoria Law Foundation’s Knowledge Grant program, it’s your responsibility to conduct ethical research.
We have developed the following guidance, information and templates to help you.
- Overarching standards
- Confidentiality, informed consent and secure data collection and storage
- Ethics checklist
- Sample consent forms
Process for ethics approval
If you are partnering with an academic body you may choose to go through their ethics process.
If not, you will need to establish an alternative process such as forming a reference group or internal governance committee to approve the research activity and guide the project.
