ARC LIEF EOI - Now open!

Funding Opportunity: ARC LIEF EOI 

The EOI process for LE19 is now open and will close at 5pm on Wednesday 31st January 2018.  For bids led by a Victoria-based university, an EOI should be submitted by the lead CI only.  If the bid is lead interstate, the Victoria-based CI should submit an EOI for their involvement. 

Monash Cash Contributions

For Monash-led bids, it is expected that the overall cash contribution from Monash would total between 40% and 60% of the total request for funds, and that this would likely comprise 1/3 from the relevant School or Department, 1/3 from the relevant Faculty, and 1/3 from Central.

For non Monash-led bids, Central cash funding may be requested following the 1/3; 1/3; 1/3 model.

To secure Central funding, School/Department and Faculty funding must be signed off as part of the EOI process.  Evidence of internal cash commitments and a request for Central cash support is achieved via the Monash Cash Contribution form.

Submitting an EOI

Further information on the EOI process including the Monash Cash Contribution form can be accessed from the MRO intranet.  The EOI form can be accessed through the VicLIEF portal.  

EOI Outcomes 

All EOI's submitted State-wide will be discussed at a meeting in mid-February 2018 which is attended by the DVCR's of the Victoria-based universities, or their delegates.  Only those EOI teams that receive approval from this meeting will be supported to submit a full ARC LE19 application.
