Using the ARC's Research Management System (RMS)
The ARC's Research Management System (RMS) is a web-based system used to prepare and submit research proposals, assessments and rejoinders. Grant applications are drafted electronically via the RMS and automatically assigned a project number. You can use the RMS to:
- submit a proposal in a scheme round opening from March 2009 onwards
- submit a pre-submission eligibility issue in a scheme round opening from March 2009 onwards.

All RMS users must have an RMS User Account. Each account has a single RMS User ID and password. Discuss your account request with the Income Generation and Application Support Services prior to submitting an online request for a User Account. Outcomes of your User Account request will be emailed to you.
