Allocation of funds to research projects is managed through a committee structure. The Project Committee oversees all Research Projects for the Red Meat Industry Trust and the Red Meat Development Trust.
The role of the Project Committee is strengthened and enhanced through 2 working committees. There is a Cattle & Small Stock Planning committee (CSS) and a Pork Planning Committee.
These committes ensure that all projects are well managed. For each project there is a contract, reports and responsibility. Regular feedback from the researcher and the institution is required, final payment for any project is only released once the Final report has been submitted.
