Minimum Data for 215 NHMRC Centres of Research Excellence (CRE) Grants

Please remind researchers intending to submit an NHMRC CRE grant that their application must be initiated and the minimum data requirements must be entered into RGMS by 5:00pm (AEDT) Wednesday 4 March 2015.

Minimum data for CREs consists of the following:

·  A-PA Home (specifically the Administering Institution, Application Title and Synopsis)

·  A-RC Research Classification

·  A-RT Research Team and Commitment including the names of team members if known (note: team members may be added or deleted after the minimum data deadline until the close of applications at 5:00PM on 18 March 2015)

·  B-APA Application Priority Area (if applicable)

If applicants do not meet the minimum data deadline, their application will not proceed. The information provided will help NHMRC allocate assessors to the application. The correct information must be entered in each field; placeholder information is not sufficient.

The MRO Submission Process and internal deadlines are outlined on the attached document; this information will be available on the MRO website shortly. Note the internal deadline for compliance checking is Wednesday 4 March 2015.

All queries about this scheme should be directed to the Medical and Health Sciences Team at MRO (mhs@monash.edu).
