The RED Form process for internal approval

A new bid approval process started in the Arts faculty in August 2008 called the RED form. (RED = "Research and Enterprise Development"). This form replaces the blue and pink forms.

The new procedure has a semi-electronic approval process - emails confirming approval will be accepted rather than signatures, which means signatories do not have to be in the office to approve a bid.

If you are considering making an application to any funder you will need to send an email to the Arts-REST email box to obtain the electronic form, which will be sent to you with a unique reference number. It is advisable to let us know at least 20 working days before the deadline if you are thinking of making an application so that we can plan our workload. You need to aim to have completed your application at least 2 weeks before the deadline to allow time for the internal approval process.
