All teams must complete a Co-developed Project Plan and submit to the Partnerships Team via the Student Partners Workflow. This document can be found in the Workflow and in the Further Resources page.
The purpose of the co-developed plan is to provide an opportunity for all partners to contribute to the intellectual design of the project. This is a foundational document for project teams as it enables you to develop your ‘rules of engagement’ as a team at the commencement of your project.
This document seeks to serve as a conversation starter for teams, and you are not locked in to what you write in the plan. Rather it aims to ensure that teams have had transparent conversations regarding their preferred communication and collaboration strategies and discussed the scope of the project. We encourage you to revisit your project plan throughout the lifespan of your project, as things may shift, priorities may change, or new lessons may be learned.
If you find that your agreed upon communication or collaboration strategies are not working, we encourage you to discuss this as a team and adopt different strategies.
Once the Project Plan has been submitted, the first instalment of the Student Partner grant will be processed.
