Managing Your Project

A number of resources are available to assist project holders in planning, implementing, reporting and evaluating their ALTC funded project and for disseminating outcomes.

Project Management Information

The project management information will assist project holders manage their project. It includes important information regarding Interim and Final Project Reporting requirements, instructions for the preparation of text resources and publicly accessible project websites, as well as guidelines for correct acknowledgement and recognition of the ALTC's funding in all written project material.

The paper Operational learnings of ALTC project holders synthesises challenges and lessons learned in the day-to-day operations of the program and the reported experiences of grants scheme project teams. By highlighting the challenges and lessons learned, it is hoped that existing and new project holders may become more aware of potential pitfalls and also be better placed to take up opportunities that may arise.

Occasional papers are under development to resource project teams. The first resource, on
Communication Strategies, provides useful reflection for all team members in the planning and execution of their project.

The resource Working with Workshops has been prepared for ALTC. Specifically intended for use by ALTC fellows and project teams, it provides useful background and practical hints for those designing and planning events for their programs or projects.
