ARC- DECRA Fellowships (DE22) Now Open

The DECRA grant opportunity provides focused research support for early career researchers in both teaching and research, and research-only positions.

DECRAs are for eligible researchers within 5 years post-PhD (i.e. researchers with a PhD award date which falls on, or after 1 March 2016). If you require a Career Interruption, see here.

IMPORTANT NOTES

  • To assist researchers in planning applications for upcoming ARC grant opportunities, the ARC has published pre-award guidance on the ARC website, including Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) that relate to the impacts of COVID-19.  
  • Following the updated ARC Conflict of Interest and Confidential Policy, there are some new mandatory questions which must be completed via the Personal Details tab of each RMS user profile.

Please note the following key changes to the DECRA application in RMS, relative to last year: 

  • D1 - Project description section includes new sub-section "Project Aims and Background"
