Naming Individuals on a Grant

The University recognises the real benefits (practically, qualitatively and financially) that can accrue from naming individuals on grants
when naming an individual on a grant, the author must consider whether there are a number of potential candidates of whom they are aware who might be put forward on the grant
where there is more than one possible candidate, there must be a rational and defensible selection decision, based on objective criteria relating to the job description and person specification
if a named person is going to have a significant input into writing the grant submission, the above considerations must be taken into account before inviting the individual to contribute
if the grant is awarded, the named person will be appointed without need for further advertisement
authors should be aware that an individual who is made redundant and who feels aggrieved about not having been appointed as the named individual on a grant, may bring a claim against the university of unfair selection for redundancy if they have appropriate skills and were not appropriately considered for the position
