This elective is delivered in person over one (1) day:

• Monday 13 May 2024, 09:00AM - 3:00PM, local time

An important skillset for any Researcher, Research Administrator, Research Manager, Department Finance Officer or Commercial Manager is to be able to effectively cost and price research projects. With this is in mind the ARMS Costing and Pricing of Research training module has been developed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of Research Project Costing and Pricing to ultimately ensure there are enough resources for a project to be successfully completed within the project scope and ensure that key Organisational and Investor requirements have been considered.

On completion of the module, the participant will have an increased understanding of:

• How the external environment influences costing and pricing;
• Key costing and pricing terminology;
• The key considerations and elements of effectively costing and pricing a research project;
• The principles and components of the full cost of research;
• Competitive neutrality and its requirements for costing and pricing;
• Medical Trials Costing and Pricing;
• Costing and pricing a research project based upon specific funding rounds and funding agency requirements;
• Key considerations when costing and pricing a research project in New Zealand, Singapore and for US Federal Government Grants;
• Submitting a compelling funding request; and
• Where to get assistance in their Organisation.
