NHMRC Project Grant Applications are Open in RGMS

Reminder: A reminder that the maximum number of applications any CI (CIA-CIJ) may submit in the 2018 Project Grant round is two. The maximum number of Project Grants a CI (CIA-CIJ) can hold is six. This applies for all applicants except those who are an NHMRC Program Grant CI (who are limited to holding, and applying for, no more than 1 Project Grant).

All relevant NHMRC funding rules and guidelines for this scheme are available via GrantConnect - search for NHMRC Project Grants.

The MRO has updated the key changes and other relevant information for this scheme based on the new guidelines - these are available on the relevant MRO intranet pages.

Attached here is:

• the MRO submission process document,
• a QRG for creating your Pure application record,
• consent template for CIs and AIs. 

New Investigator (NI) Project Grants - Form MUST be Certified by COB Mon 22nd Jan 2018
All CIs (CIA-CIJ) need to be assessed and be confirmed as a NI by NHMRC. Where one or more CIs have not submitted a request or have not had their NI status confirmed, the application will progress as a standard Project Grant application. 

All NI applicants must:

• update the RGMS CV-RF and CV-ORF sections of the RGMS profile & CV, AND
• fully complete and certify the online NI status request form in RGMS by COB 22 January 2018. The MRO will then submit your NI request form before the NHMRC close date of 5pm AEDT 24 January 2018. 

No additional explanatory information will be accepted after the NI status request form has been submitted - so include all relevant details on the NI form. 

Even if you have applied in previous years for NI status, you must request NI status again this year. Confirmation of NI status will be sent to the MRO prior to the close date of Project Grants to allow the applicant(s) time to adjust the CI team if they do not meet the eligibility criteria.
