NHMRC Standard Equipment Grants for 2014 - CALL FOR APPLICATIONS (due Wednesday 19 November)

NHMRC Standard Equipment Grants are now open for application and we have been advised that a sum of $699,792.36 has been allocated to Monash University for 2014.  

The NHMRC has clearly defined objectives for awarding Equipment Grant funding, which are:

• The need for institutions to be strategic in the purchase of larger items of equipment that will benefit health and medical research in Australia; 

• Institutions are encouraged to support equipment that will be used collaboratively; and

• Where possible, Australian-made equipment should be purchased. 

The Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences will prioritise applications on the basis of:

1) Alignment with the University Research Strategic Plan, particularly around the provision of advanced infrastructure, and in the context of the platforms, talent enhancement and interdisciplinary research;

2) Opportunity for multiple use;

3) Alignment with the long term investment policy of the Faculty; and

4) Encouragement of innovation.
