2016 Advancing Women's Research Success Grant Program - CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

The Equal Opportunity for Women Committee is pleased to announce that applications are now being sought for the 2016 Advancing Women’s Research Success Grant program. The program supports the career progression of early to mid-career high potential female academic staff with significant carer responsibilities.

High performing female academics employed at Level B or Level C with primary carer responsibilities are encouraged to apply. Application form and guidelines are attached, and are also available at http://adm.monash.edu/human-resources/staff-equity/grants/awrsp.html.  Please note that while the extent of an applicant’s carer responsibilities will be taken into account in selection, the first criterion for the award is research excellence and research potential.

Grant applicants can seek up to $11,000 that can be used flexibly to enhance their research productivity and reduce the impact of career breaks and/or primary carer responsibilities on research outcomes. The program also offers an optional professional career coaching service, valued at $2,000 per person.

Recipients of a 2015 Advancing Women's Research Success Grant are not eligible to apply for a grant this year. However, recipients of a 2012, 2013 or 2014 grant may reapply in 2016.

Applications (and supporting material) should be submitted to awrs-grant@monash.edu by Monday 22 February 2016 at 5pm.
