All education consultancies such as teaching and learning workshops, seminars and short courses (as defined in the Professional and Continuing Education Policy), are managed by the School/Faculty.

All other consultancy and contract research projects (regardless of size) are managed by the Office of Research Services (ORS).

The protocol to process education consultancies is as follows:

1. The School/Faculty will send all consultancies to Research.Funding@utas.edu.au for review.
2. A determination will be made by the Office of Research Services (ORS) if the consultancy is a consultancy, an education consultancy (teaching, learning or professional development activity) or a research activity (as outlined by the Higher Education Research Data Collection specifications).
3. ORS will inform the CI and School/Faculty of the outcome by email.
4. If the project is a consultancy or research activity, ORS will process it.
5. If the project is an education consultancy, the School/Faculty will process it, and the ORS email confirmation can be sent to Finance when an account opening request is made.
6. The School/Faculty will manage the Education Consultancy in line with the Professional and Continuing Education Policy
7. Funds received from education consultancies related to teaching, learning and professional development activities will be managed within the School/Faculty.
