This GRLO Training webinar serves as a final Q&A session before the Round 2 application deadline on Friday. The panel addresses key questions regarding university in-kind contributions, stipend rates, and conflicts of interest. They clarify that whilst standard RTP stipends and basic facilities are expected, additional contributions should be documented to strengthen applications. The session covers technical issues with the ISEO system, recommending that financial contributions be attached as separate documents due to system glitches. The panel discusses the assessment process, confirming that assessors will be provided with discrete application packs. Looking ahead, they outline the post-submission eligibility review process and announce that Round 3 will use an improved platform with enhanced functionality. The National Science Week showcase is postponed, with updates expected following a Monday meeting.
