It provides the additional resources often needed by not-for-profit community organisations to develop their own projects and find their own ways of helping their community build stronger relations.

There are two aims for the DSCP funding:

Aim 1 - to promote respect, fairness and a sense of belonging for Australians of every race, culture and religion. This aim primarily focuses on the promotion of inter-community harmony and understanding.

Aim 2 - to develop the community capacity-building skills of specific community groups under significant pressure due to their cultural, religious or racial diversity. This aim primarily focuses on supporting specific communities with the purpose of building their social cohesion capacity and/or to promote their positive contribution to Australia.

Funding
Generally, funding for individual projects of up to $50,000 is available to incorporated, not-for-profit organisations, seeking to address issues involving prejudices that might lead to racial discrimination, and that affects social cohesion and community harmony in the local area.

Funding of up to $5000 is also available for individual projects under the Multicultural Arts and Festivals Grants.

Health Sciences

 

The Beat Cancer Project (formerly referred to as the SA Cancer Research Collaborative) is managed by SAHMRI, and commenced with the 2011-2012 financial year.

Over the five year period from July 2011 – June 2016 Cancer Council SA will provide SAHMRI with $2 million per year to fund Cancer Council SA's current and future cancer research infrastructure, fellowship and grants program. This significant investment will also be matched by SA Health resulting in a doubling of funds for cancer research in SA over the next five years.

This is an exciting endeavour and provides a smarter and more efficient way of delivering cancer research funds. Overall, the agreement aims to develop a larger pool of funds for cancer research, increase the capacity for researchers to attract more national and international research grants and build a stronger cancer research workforce within South Australia.

Eligibility
Eligible applications may come from across the research spectrum, including biomedical, clinical, healthservices and population-health research. Public health researchers are encouraged to apply.

Applicants ineligible to apply for NHMRC Project Grant funding are still entitled to apply via the NHMRC process for SAHMRI funding. Applicants need to adhere to the SAHMRI eligibility criteria as well as that of the NHMRC if they are applying for funding from both organisations. These are available on their respective websites.

Funding & Duration
Research Project Grants will generally be for one year beginning 1 January 2014. Research project grants are not a source of ongoing salary funding for senior career scientists and will not fund the salary of a chief investigator. Up to $100,000 will be available.

Submission
Please submit a hardcopy of finalised proposals to the Research Branch, accompanied by a completed and signed hardcopy of the University's Grant Application Coversheet.

Hardcopies of applications to be addressed to:
Research Branch - Level 7, 115 Grenfell Street, Adelaide SA 5005
