Seed Grants

MATTHEW GRIGG

A strong component of the ACREME collaboration is to build new research capability and capacity which includes the development of projects supporting the aims of ACREME MASTER-MAP. To achieve this, the program offers competitive research funding for pilot projects that fall within the three key research themes of ACREME MASTER-MAP.

Seed Grant applications will be competitively assessed for quality, innovation, potential impact, and likelihood of attracting further funding. The Seed Grant scheme is aimed at supporting early career researchers working within the research teams of ACREME Investigators and promoting collaborative projects between partner Institutions. Grants are designed to support small pilot projects that are achievable within a twelve-month timeframe. Successful applications will be awarded between $15,000-$25,000AUD for 6-12 months upon receipt of the funds.
