Research grant applications must be reviewed and approved by the Research Portfolio prior to submission to the funding agency, including for expressions of interest and non-lead applications. To allow sufficient time for internal compliance and eligibility reviews and for relevant amendment to take place prior to submission, researchers are required to submit an advanced draft of their application (including budget) at least one week prior to the funder’s deadline, otherwise known as the internal hard deadline. Larger schemes, such as the ARC and NHMRC schemes, usually have earlier internal deadlines which are communicated in anticipation of these larger application rounds closer to those times of the year on the Find Funding pages of the intranet.
Submitting a research grant application through our Pipeline and Pre-Award team generally follows the steps listed below. Please note that the process described here is a high-level process outline and may not cover every application process for every scheme in sufficient detail.
