Applications that fail to satisfy this requirement will not be accepted. Applicants are also reminded to complete the recommended fields as outlined above with correct information. Using placeholder text such as “text”, “synopsis” or “xx” etc. is not acceptable as minimum data.

The MRO will start checking minimum data for all Project Grants initiated in RGMS later this week. 

• Limits on Project Grant applications in 2018

The maximum number of applications any CI (CIA-CIJ) may submit in the 2018 Project Grant round for NHMRC funding is two. The maximum number of Project Grants a CI (CIA-CIJ) can hold is six.

For the purpose of determining eligibility for this round, the number of Project Grants an applicant holds is the number scheduled to continue from 1 January 2019. For example, if an applicant will hold five active Project Grants in 2019, only one Project Grant application may be submitted in 2018.

If you are a Program Grant holder, different rules apply - please contact the MRO to confirm your eligibility to apply for a Project Grant.
