New support for big bids
We’re pleased to announce new support for our members in expanding their current research projects into programs of research that will enable substantial and sustained impact on health and wellbeing.
The first component of the support package is funding for a casual staff member (Support Officer) to provide administration support to the lead Chief Investigator and research team submitting applications to fund large programs of work (big bids). Examples of big bids include NHMRC Centres of Research Excellence or Synergy Grants schemes, ARC Centres of Excellence, Industrial Transformation Research Hubs or Training Centres. Submissions to the MRFF, NHMRC Partnership Grants or other competitive grants may be considered big bids; please see Eligibility section of Guidelines to Access Administration Support for requirements and further details. Please contact Merran Stewart if you have any questions.
