FMNHS Advancing Women's Research Success Grants (AWRSG)

The grant program is designed to support the career progression of early to mid-career high potential female academic staff (Level B & Level C) who have primary caregiving responsibilities.

Grant applicants can seek up to $11,000 that can be used flexibly for a range of activities including research assistance, research collaboration, travel for research purposes, teaching relief as well as to cover the cost associated with extraordinary carer support. Applications are open until Sunday, 15 March 2020.

Note: Although the program is also administered centrally, we are pleased to announce that the FMNHS D&I Committee is able to fund a number of additional Advancing Women's Research Success grants.

How to apply?
  • Read the attached Grant Guidelines
  • Complete the FMNHS AWRSG 2020 online application form, also available in the FMNHS AWRSG 2020 Guidelines (note: all application questions are listed in Appendix A of Grant Guidelines).

Applicants who are unsuccessful for the centrally administered AWRS Grant 2020 will be notified by Staff Equity and Diversity, Monash HR by early March 2020 and automatically considered for the FMNHS AWRSG 2020. This subsequent round will be administered by the FMNHS Diversity and Inclusion Committee.
