The Australia-India Strategic Research Fund Round 13 - COVID-19 Collaborative Research Projects is now open. The AISRF provides grants for collaborative research projects with Indian partners. For Round 13 of the AISRF, your project must involve research in a COVID-19 focused priority area and must be mutually beneficial for Australia and India with outcomes that contribute to the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Your project must be in a priority area. The priority areas for Round 13 - COVID 19 Collaborative Research Projects are:
Indo-Australian Science & Technology Fund (administered by DST in India)
Indo-Australian Biotechnology Fund (administered by DBT in India)
APPLICATION LIMITS & MONASH EOI PROCESS
The project must involve research in a priority area (mentioned above)
Applicants must have a primary Indian partner that has submitted, or in process of submitting a corresponding application to India’s Department of Science and Technology (DST) or the Department of Biotechnology (DBT).
Monash University is only able to submit two applications here:
As such, the MRO must run an internal expression of interest process to identify which applications the Monash will support, in case there are multiple researchers interested in applying (see details below).
EOI & APPLICATION PROCESS
