ECR Grants 2024 – Now open

The University of Melbourne’s Early Career Research (ECR) Grant scheme for 2024 is now open.

The scheme aims to support early career researchers to undertake high quality projects and pilot studies, strengthen their track records, and enhance their profile for competitive external funding. This scheme is a core part of the University’s research development strategy, which places a high priority on supporting ECRs. Applicants from MGSE may apply for between $5000 and $25,000 in research funding. Access to an application is on SmartyGrants.

Please note that there is an internal MGSE selection process. A panel of academics, chaired by our AD-R, Professor Russell Cross, will short list applications that MGSE will support for this scheme.

Please submit your draft project description and application form (PDF copy generated in SmartyGrants) for review to mgse-grants@unimelb.edu.au by 1 June 2023.
