Monash Research Office are providing a hands-on workshop focussed on ARC DECRA and Discovery Projects, and NHMRC Investigators and Project Grants. This workshop is aimed at students and ECRs. The team will run through their tips and tricks, and the essentials when applying for these schemes.

A fundamental and essential skill in Australian research is the ability to attract funding through developing competitive proposals. The Monash Research Office’s, Research Development Team (RDT) have read, reviewed and analysed hundreds of proposals (competitive and not) with the aim of improving the success of Monash researchers. Key learnings and insights the team have garnered will be presented at this workshop. Targeted to Early Career Researchers, become familiar with the ARC and NHMRC funding schemes and learn the basics of preparing competitive grant proposals. Participants will:

Examine different Australian ECR Schemes including:
o ARC DECRA
o NHMRC Investigators
o ARC Discovery Projects
o NHMRC Ideas

Lessons learned will be reinforced during breakout sessions in which the RDT will provide examples for you to analyse alongside RDT members and your peers.
